japan public debt 170 percent of gdp, page-7

The rankings I'm posting are public debt only.
these are governments only we are talking about.

Australia's public debt is only around 20% from memory - you are including private debt.

Australia is doing well on the public debt side of things - not so well as far as private debt is concerned.
then again in Australia we have to own up to our private debts- we can't pass them back to someone else like a hot potato or invent bogus Credit Default swaps etc,, to window dress.
