That post is a good run down of the survey.

The Australian press is onto the result pretty quickly, this via The Australian (may be gated)

  • NAB's indicator pointed to solid employment conditions, pointing to adequate jobs growth to further lower the unemployment rate
  • "Overall, results from the survey indicate that the business sector in Australia is very strong at present, which is having positive spill-overs into the labour market and, to some extent, investment," the report said
