Government ::Australia

Government type:
federal parliamentary democracy and a Commonwealth realm

Constitution:
9 July 1900; effective on 1 January 1901

Legal system:
based on English common law; accepts compulsory ICJ jurisdiction with
reservations; accepts International Criminal Court jurisdiction with
conditions
------

Hmm, let's see, a constitutional democratic republic divided into three
parts; an elected chief executive, a bi-camera legislature and a hierarchal
judicial branch.

Hmm, that sounds vaguely familiar...

Those evil socialist *******S must be hiding! Let's poke around a bit.The
truth will out!

OK, here, we go. This oughta be good! We got you now, socialist *******s!

Economy - overview:

Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of
foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron ore, copper,
gold, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources.
....
Australia also has a large services sector and is a significant exporter of
natural resources, energy, and food.
....
The Australian economy grew for 17 consecutive years before the global
financial crisis. Subsequently, the Rudd government introduced a fiscal
stimulus package worth over US$50 billion to offset the effect of the
slowing world economy, while the Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest
rates to historic lows. These policies - and continued demand for
commodities, especially from China - helped the Australian economy rebound
after just one quarter of negative growth.

The economy grew by 1.5% during the first three quarters of 2009 - the best
performance in the OECD. Unemployment, originally expected to reach 8-10%,
peaked at 5.7% in late 2009 and fell to 5.3% by February 2010. As a result
of an improved economy, the budget deficit is expected to peak below 4.2% of
GDP and the government could return to budget surpluses as early as 2015.
The Australian financial system remained resilient throughout the financial
crisis and Australian banks have rebounded. Australia was one of the first
advanced economies to raise interest rates - three times since October 2009
- and the government removed the wholesale funding guarantee for financial
institutions in March 2010.

Unemployment rate:
5.6% (2009 est.)

Exports - commodities:
coal, iron ore, gold, meat, wool, alumina, wheat, machinery and transport
equipment

Exports - partners:
China 21.81%, Japan 19.19%, South Korea 7.88%, India 7.51%, US 4.95%, UK
4.37%, NZ 4.1% (2009)

Imports:
$160.4 billion (2009 est.)
country comparison to the world: 21
$194 billion (2008 est.)

Imports - commodities:
machinery and transport equipment, computers and office machines,
telecommunication equipment and parts; crude oil and petroleum products

Imports - partners:
China 17.94%, US 11.26%, Japan 8.36%, Thailand 5.81%, Singapore 5.54%,
Germany 5.3% (2009)

Gee, I see your point! They must be socialists! That's exactly the right
word for a health, growing, private equity driven money making economy!

Why, it would totally SUCK if we had already recovered from the Republidolt
caused world financial disaster and we weren't still borrowing boatloads of
money from the Chinese and our bailouts were paid off and a thing of the
past and our economy was growing and our unemployment was 5.6% and our trade
was balanced and our workers were making a livable wage and all of our
citizens enjoyed universal health care.

Yeah, boy, that would really SUCK! **** those filthy socialist *******s! And
you're every bit as right about global warming being some kind of scam, too!
An inexplicably insensible, illogical, unprofitable, um, scam!

BTW, I almost forgot, here's the grand total of US aid in any and all forms
to Australia for 2009:

$00.00

Tell me, DogDoo, have you always been an ignorant stupid asshole or have you
suffered some severe closed head trauma and you just can't help it?

ABSTRACT:
....the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile
on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test
performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.
