5 jaar later in Australië
Immuun voor economische teleurgang. 5 jaar geleden kwam ik voor het eerst in dit afgezonderde continent, aan de andere kant van de wereld. Een westers land dat de afgelopen decennia continu doorgroeide (zie GDP comparison, verschil in groei van BBP), een land wat buiten de 2 grote economische neerslagen bleef (2001 en 2008) en een land dat een geringe staatsschuld heeft (zie Australian Public Debt, staatsschuld).
