Lowering the policy rate (overnight interest rate) target, lowers the prime lending rate. As the prime rate lowers, most interest rates prevailing in the markets rise. Therefore, an open market sale of government securities raises the interest rate by decreasing money supply in the economy.
Incorrect information in this paragraph. It appears to be copied from the paragraph (2 above it) used for the SPRA explanation. Maybe this page was still work in progress. So I will assume this remaining parts of this chapter are still in progress. I will stop the review here until I hear back that it is now ready for review. Thanks

I feel there still needs to be an explanation in the content for this chapter section with the explanation for what the bar graph figures are telling you. Something is missing without it.

GDP and Human Happiness
It appears that the content may have omitted a summary of what this is telling us. What about the relationship between GDP and Happiness. Is there a correlation? What about a section discussing the GDP per capita as an indicator?

It should be noted that the GDP deflator in the base year is 100. This will always be the case. As mentioned earlier, the nominal GDP and the real GDP will be equal in the base year.
There needs to be an extra paragraph here to explain what the GDP deflator numbers calculated for the 3 years above really mean. Expand on what what this information tells you.

Fig 4.9 Example: Price and Quantity of Economic Production
Recommendation: There is value in adding a second Figure/chart but using quantities that decrease for some of the products over the 3 years measured. That way when you also include a second calculation of the Real GDP's it will show there is no real growth, unlike the textbook example. Show both examples for comparison and help students understand real growth.

the first female Wiggle, Emma Watkins
Wow, that's a very big influential name in showbiz there. When others in Fairfax regurgitated this story, they regurgitated her quotes on the Queen Quest's value.
You may have missed that, but here's what niche womens issue publication 'Womens Agenda' said in its article titled 'This councillor wanted to debate beauty pageants. They called him a wanker' - here's the relevant section:
*But can these pageants actually be a positive platform to build a career?
Emma Watkins, also known as the Yellow Wiggle, thinks so. Ryde City Council has run these pageants for 30 years and several famous names have emerged as prior festival queens, with Watkins being one who won not one but 2 pageants, in both 2005 and 2009.
Watkins said that winning is more focused on community involvement than beauty.
“As a little girl I just aspired to be a Granny Smith Festival Queen,” said Watkins, now age 25. “[Judging is] definitely all about contestants’ involvement in the community.
Watkins says that the pageant improved her self-confidence, instead of the popular belief that it is harmful for young girls self esteem: “Winning improved my confidence and pubic speaking and self-esteem in the middle of those teenage years.”
- That article even got the basic context right: * "Simon proposed the motion to debate the Council’s support for beauty pageants after reading – week after week – stories in the local paper about the competitions.........
"It wasn’t the debate he got."*
