'Key findings':

• The end of the third quarter saw growth in Australia's manufacturing sector at a survey-record low. A weakening sales trend led to lower production volumes and decreased payroll numbers. Firms also cut back on their purchasing activity while inventories of both inputs and finished goods fell further. Input inflation remained solid, but charges rose only marginally. Business sentiment, while still positive, dropped to a four-month low
