unN hit People default on home loans House prices fall by 10% of face value Rental prices decrease GFC bonus payment - $200 Stimulus – building house or hotel 30% discount Rail, power and water owners can increase prices by 50% Stimulus payments cut Economy is booming Election coming up New govt - Cut budget 2 richest players pay income to two poorest players Population flees alien invasion

Variations game 3 – Government Policy

28

Why does 2-3% inflation have to be goal Why not 2-3% deflation At present, everyone (private and public) has too

much debt – need to keep value of currency low so that debt does not increase to detriment of savers rather than investors (borrowers)

Anyone on fixed income / with savings – detrimental effect

Super industry is powerful. No one is lobbying against this industry.

Increase to 12% high Super concessions are big burden on budget
