on SmartCompany we examine the NSW state budget, which contained little
for small business but did bring some good and bad news for the
property sector. We also look at a report from property expert Louis
Christopher, who says house prices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin are
set to drop at least 4-7% by the end of 2012 and talk to one expert who
says department stores should start charging suppliers rent for letting
them on their shelves. Plus in Entrepreneur Watch, James Thomson looks at why Sunday has become a crucial IR battleground.
