Our economy is strong and will stay that way. Our government is a lot smarter than u think

[DCI]

Wrong wrong and emmm wrong. I think last year your economy didn't grow due to china slowing down buying up all your resources and if you think 10 dollars for tea is sustainable you need to get your head out of the clouds crazy inflation will only cause one thing a crash and a lot of your "wealth" is built on property and we all know how that ended for many countries

Westmoreland modeld his LRRP off our sas

Black indiginous people were classed as fauna untill 1968 and farmers could get a license to hunt them.

Australia shrugged off the global recession. Its economy soared on the back of the biggest housing boom in the world. Its ground holds $1.6 trillion in metals and minerals. Its cities are among the nicest in the world.
However you look at it, Australia is becoming more than a little brother to the West.
We picked out some striking facts for anyone looking to invest down under.
Remember that Great Recession? It wasn't a big deal down under. Australia had only one quarter of negative growth after the financial crisis and its economy grew more than any OECD country in 2009

Australia's government debt to GDP is the second lowest in the OECD -- with levels one quarter of America's

The average Australian spends $1,377 each year on gambling -- three times as much as Americans

That adds up to $19 billion a year, or 2% of GDP, in gambling money.

The Australian dollar is the fifth-most traded currency -- more popular than the Yuan, Real, Ruble or Rupee.

Despite being only the 13th largest economy, Australia's dollar is the fifth most traded currency.
The currency market sees the Aussie as a good long bet and a safe place to flee to in light of QE2 in America and Europe's sovereign debt crisis. It's relative volatility also attracts a lot of investors.

Australia is blessed with almost $1.6 trillion in metals and ore reserves. Only South Africa and Russia have more.

Reserves composition (value):
46% Iron ore
22% Nickel
12% Bauxite

The arid climate makes most of the country essentially uninhabitable, however. The five biggest cities in Australia are spending $13.2 billion on seawater desalination

Climate change has made droughts and floods worse. The government is turning to expensive and unpopular desalination to cope with the demands of a growing population.

Perth is the most isolated urban area in the world. The closest city, Adelaide, is 1307 miles from Perth. That's about as far New Orleans is from New York

Australia's housing is overvalued by 56% according to price-to-rent ratios -- the biggest real estate bubble in the world

The housing market is overvalued by 56.4%. A steady flow of immigrants has kept it from crashing so far, but there are plenty of trends that point to a coming disaster.
Economist Steve Keen warns that Australian housing is a bubble heading for an American style subprime crash: "There are very good odds that, when this Ponzi Scheme collapses and house prices fall, bank shares will go down with them."
See an interactive table at The Economist.
The average Aussie drinks 110 liters of beer in a year -- more than any but the Germans, Irish and Czechs
