I'm not saying it's irrelevant give our very globalised world, I'm just implying that its ramifications will be about as relevant as the sub prime mess was on Australian property... as in if a crisis does eventuate from a second wave of mortgage defaults, then I expect Australian property to obviously be adversely impacted, but I personally think Australia's real issues of too much are debt are home grown, and the US property problems won't be the catalyst for our own systematic unwind, it will be the raising interest rates and falling GDP (and unemployment/wages).

Depends on what the central bankers decide. Most CBs have targets to maintain inflation within an economy, so if we expect them to follow their own rules, we should expect them to print the way out of the problem, but if you can't trust the bankers, then you definitely can't trust a central banker!
