No es que no esté superpoblada, es que aquí vivimos apilados en colmenas. Comparar Australia con España es de mal gusto.

Pues segun este mapa:


La mayoría es desierto y sabana (grassland)

Y no veo yo muy habitable tanto el desierto como un terreno como este:

Warning: after the boom it'll be Dutch and go

AUSTRALIA faces a run on its currency, a deeper collapse in housing prices and a bank funding crisis to rival Europe's as it attempts to come to grips with life after the mining boom, according to a widely circulating report from a boutique US advisory firm.

Entitled Australia: The Unlucky Country, the report from Variant Perception argues Australia faces a classic case of Dutch Disease, the erosion of capability that flows from a resources boom and an overvalued exchange rate.
"The mining sector has crowded out almost all other sectors of the economy and also funnelled credit and liquidity into a housing bubble in the real estate sector," the report says.

The Australian dollar is overvalued on most metrics, one being the hamburger-based Big Mac Index, which has the Aussie 15 to 20 per cent above par, Variant says. But it will need to fall well below par and stay there for some time for the rest of the economy to come to the fore after mining retreats.

"It will be almost impossible to move mining capacity to other sectors in Australia," the report says. "This is a classic problem for economies which suffer from Dutch Disease.

''When the hangover arrives, writing off production capacity is often done at a considerable discount to cost. In addition, the manufacturing sector is under-developed and will not be able to take up the slack for the loss of momentum in construction and mining."

Variant says the Aussie dollar might slide smoothly as a result of the Reserve Bank cutting interest rates, or it could fall suddenly in a European-style crisis in which foreigners withdraw funding from Australian banks and corporates.
"A total funding need from external sources of 40 per cent is extraordinarily high. Moreover, about half is short term," the report says.
"This increases the risk yet further should Australia face a funding shock, driven either by events at home (a severely slowing economy), or abroad (eg. a euro-driven credit event).

"Australia's net external debt levels resemble those seen in the European periphery. Its net international investment position is deeply negative, worse than that of countries such as Turkey and Brazil."
Variant says the Reserve Bank will come to come to the rescue of the big four Australian banks in a crisis because they are too important to fail, "either by aggressively cutting interest rates or propping up banks through domestic open market operations akin to the liquidity injections seen by the European Central Bank".

"Quantitative easing is also a possibility if the RBA is forced to buy bank debt to try to stave off a financial crisis. Under such a scenario, the Australian dollar would fall considerably," the report says.

Local analysts dismissed many of Variant's conclusions as nothing new. "They've discovered the current account deficit," said one. "We discovered it in the 1980s and got on with our lives.

"There is a flavour in the report of the current account being a binding constraint," said the Deloitte Access partner Chris Richardson. "It isn't, unless markets get concerned."

June construction figures released yesterday show housing at its lowest in a decade, down 15 per cent from its peak two years ago. Non-residential building fell almost 20 per cent after the wind-up of the building the Education Revolution program. Engineering remained near record highs.
