I'll bite at that.. [possibly off topic] Australi'a economy is quite dependent upon China's demand for our resources (& India for that matter). The mining downturn is due declining demand from China. No more will China pay top dollar for resources at an inflated exchange rate. The boom is over.
#TeamTony (as you put it) has arranged a Free Trade agreement with China. This gives us greater access to china's markets & vice versa. We get access to China's Billion+ people market, they get access to our 23 million people market. Free governments don't work out what goods and services to sell, they let the market work that out. rgds, - matt.
