Well good for anything coming in, not so much for anything going out.
Lucky Aus doesn't have anyone trying to export, grain, minerals, coal, oil, meat or anything else made in australia. Could cost a lot of jobs if it stays high for to long.

It will also cost tourism as it will cost more to come to Aus, good for us to travel though so again it is not good for the economy.
Go PM Gilard lets F@*k Aus for everyone.
