Hi everyone, this week's NBR articles are online now.  This week:

Industry counters CHH log price leadership bid
The Timber Industry Federation says Carter Holt Harvey, previously the most 
preferred supplier of logs to mills, is one of the least favoured. The 
change of heart is the result of a hard-nosed price leadership strategy 
designed to raise the domestic price of logs before many of CHH's forest 
assets mature in the next five years.

Macquarie positions itself ahead of merger

Capital flight aborted but foreigners go short term
There is little evidence of capital flight by foreign investors but a 
stockpile of short-term cash is building up in banks as longer-term 
investments mature. Latest statistics for the March year show overseas 
holdings of debt securities fell $6 billion to $27 billion, while bank 
deposits grew $12.5 billion to $30 billion.

network services.
