This juvenile "adult, you have to be kidding" government will most likely be gone before the end of this year. The Senate will cause a House of Reps election which Abbott and company will lose.
As to Australia, we are indeed the lucky country and that luck is likely to continue for a long time yet. There is no cause for doom and gloom as even if China sneezes that's all they will do and it will be just a blip. Mining production is increasing though producing less jobs than it used to as construction winds down and automation displaces workers.
Australia does have a major unemployment problem looming with the loss of manufacturing, especially automobiles, and that makes it difficult to understand why this government expects people to work longer. They should be encouraging the elderly to retire to make way for young people otherwise those young people will be unemployed for such a long time that they will become unemployable. Too many idle then the trouble really starts.
