"The Australian Bureau of Statistics released building activity data this week, showing the total number of dwelling commencements fell by 11.4% over the year to June 2012. Based on the June data, the number of housing starts was13.4% lower than the ten year average. The weak results highlight just how weak the housing construction sector has been since building activity started to fall in early 2010."
