Australian household is the most indebted it's ever been - at some $1.80 owed for every dollar earned! The world economy barely recovers for billions of people... major powers are on the collision course for a world war in Eastern Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa, in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Korean Peninsular...

The Florida property crash soon enough led to the Great Depression; the Japanese property crash still impact its people and economy; the GFC; the Irish property crash; Spain; Brazil.... But Sydney and Melbourne in Australia are special. Real special.
