food

Top Australian exports (see pic)
>Iron Ore
>Coal
>Education Travel Services (lolwut)
>Gas
The majority of these have plummeted in value on global markets.
Less demand for these goods, which must be purchased in Australian dollars, results in less demand for the dingobucks. We know coal, iron ore and gas have been plummeting.
Weakening against USD? Maybe it's just the USD getting stronger?

Why doesn't that chart include real estate (ie. money laundering facilities) as an export?

Sadly I didn't buy enough when it was $1.10, nor did I sell when it was @ 55c
Your economy is linked to China's, basically. They buy the majority of your mining exports.
