Once again the augment is that Australia is different so don't bother to look elsewhere.
I fully realize that the current government has this blindfolded attitude to everything but on one hand we are told that it is a global community and any trouble we have had in Australia is as a result of happenings overseas.
In other words it's not our fault shout Swan and Gillard
Of course Australia is different on the surface but anything effecting the economy that occurs overseas can also occur here
