The American Jobs Act

[Aliantha]

I hope it can help your economy out, but personally, the AU dollar being so unusually high compared to the US dollar is a good thing for us except when it comes to exports, which in turn is a good thing in some ways, because exporters are being forced to find internal markets which in turn is of course beneficial to the country.

We're still exporting large scale items such as raw minerals etc through mining, and our beef industry is strong with the wool industry finally picking up thanks to a bit of great publicity from Charlie and Cam, but our smaller exporters are the ones that're finding it harder to sell their goods. Again, this is good in some ways but makes it tough in others.
