• Examples of the reported monthly data compared to longer term trends
• Why you need to take a long-term view, looking at quarterly and annual changes to determine the underlying noise in a market
• The media and commentator’s over-reaction to the latest dwelling approvals in Victoria from the Australian Bureau of Statistics
