Most probably influenced by the Aussie dollar.

Blame the Queensland government and the greenies, hellbent on total control of everything costing livelihoods while the go home and cosy up to their electric blankets. thegreatawakening

Which means Australia is succeeding in diversifying her economy from just 1 single nation. This is a milestone achievement. No nation should take stupid risk and lean on just 1 country alone.

Yes had to sell back the thousands of illegally purchased houses, the Chinese economy is slowing & Chinese govenment forced the pull back of money. Just as well our socialist /commo left labor section lost the election & control of our money. Lets hope we get a centre labor lot

'GREAT MONEY MANAGERS'? Your going to have to SUCK UP a lot now SCOMO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They have bought everything they want. They have free entry to the country through Darwin port and have acquired enough arable land for food production. They own most utilities and have bought the politicians. They are happy.
