Id not do it. Why be so lazy as to not find out the real ones? It is the HSC exam worth 50 per cent of your marks afterall.

and its not that hard

their gonna see inflation at 5% lyk 100s of times
if you put in a little effort and say, however components of CPI such as transport have risen by almost 7.3% reflecting high cost push factors such as rising oil prices, despite the recent slow down and commitment by OPEC

EDIT: lol this is'nt business tudies where you can fake a business, this is lyk actually happening

They're not going to know. Just don't fake the really basic stats, like inflation, unemployment, forecast surplus etc.
Our modern history teacher actually encouraged us to just make up statistics for our options, because none of the markers are going to know. Slightly different subject, but the same principal applies, cos how many of the markers are going to know the obscure stats?

Well, that is if you can refine your art of bullshitting, may be you can get away with some obscure statistics no one has ever heard of.

If you can make up pretty logical and believable stats, then go for it mate!
