Its Over, page-23307

Commodity price falls is attributable to China's struggling economy, neither party can do anything about it.

It will mean lower terms of trade, a lower AUD ahead and a moribund ASX which is largely resource based.

It will also mean lower capacity of the Govt to dole out fiscal spending, tax cuts and concessions and possibly higher taxes in one form or another.

Yes, that places pressure on the incumbent Govt, but an alternative Govt would neither magically result in improving exports for us. In fact, a Dutton Govt may result in alienation of relationship with China causing our exports to China to decline.
