It's consumer show time again but are consumers still interested?   Are they spooked by high interest rates and a slowing economy with increasing inflationary pressures?  While in WA at the Perth Pool, Spa & Outdoor Expo, we talk with Aquatic Leisure Technologies Director, Lynley Papineau to find out how the consumer is responding in and crystal ball into the future.    We take a dive into the boom/bust cycle of WA and discuss if WA may now be demonstrating more stability that the east coast economy. 

We also take a look at more industry acquisitions, human movement and other expansions.  As always there is plenty to hear, learn and be informed about in the SPLASH! world.

And yes, top five online news stories are back.
