Australian PM Morrison says confidence in Australia's economy is returning

The closely watched NAB business survey is out for October:

• Australia October business confidence 5 (prior -4) and business conditions 1 (prior 0)

Comments from the Australian Prime Minister

• "We cannot allow the lifeline (Morrison is referring to cash support from his Federal government through the pandemic) to hold Australia back"
• "Confidence is returning, Australia is re-opening"

Australia's second-largest state (in population terms) is still emerging from its 2nd lockdown and business is still tightly constrained there.
