Australia's strong institutions and low government debt levels mean the country is highly likely to keep its valued triple-A rating for years to come, a Moody's analyst said.
Steven Hess, a New York-based senior credit analyst for Moody's, said it would be very hard for Australia to loose its top-notch rating given the nation's track record.
"Strictly looking at the government finances, Australia has no problem at all ... and we are confident [whomever is elected] is not going to go wild with public spending," he said.
