I was in Australia August last year.
At that time, 0.95 USD buys one Aussie.
Today, one Aussie buys $1.07 USD.
Historically, 0.78 to 0.80 USD bought one Aussie.
Our dollar has depreciated so much that we’re slouching towards 3rd world status.

I was in Australia last week and I have been watching the housing properties for nearly a decade with a lot of disbelief as to the extraordinarily high price of property. I have never understood how it has been sustained for as long as it has been...particularly if one follows the old rule of four times the price of one’s salary as a rule of thumb. Prices for virtually every consumer good are at least twice as much if not ten times as much in Australia as they are in the US.
