The QE that America will not end has really hurt Australian exporters. America has forced Australia to dump the USD in International Trade with China who happens to buy a third of Australian Exports. Now that Australia has shown that business is more important that 'friendship' you will see Australia make more announcement's of direct trade with other nations.
But if America was really Australia's friend would they be attacking our exporters by manipulation of their currency through 'Unlimited Quantitative Easing'? We get the message America. You do not value friendship with Australia. Thats fine. Australia is an Asian nation and we are well positioned to enter the Asian Century.
Australia is the first of America's 'friends' to jump ship. We have seen the BRIIICS members agreeing to direct trade deals and some western nations have been doing it here and there. But this is different. China and Australia are going to agree to use our own currencies for all trade between our nations. The Australian Governments 'white paper' on The Asian Century has given us many idea's on how Australia can fit into the Asian Century. Having America as a friend is a burden. Having America as a friend is Australias's greatest challenge heading into The Asian Century.
I think other Western Nations will see what Australia is doing and follow suit. Sorry about that mates. Just business you understand. Money talks and America walks.

You do realize the China's currency is heavily manipulated, don't you? In fact, much more so than the U.S. So if somebody manipulates their currency in your favor they are a friend, and if it is not manipulated in your favor, they are not. Your understanding of the currency trade is lacking.

The day Australia has a deal to install a military base in the United States, and not the other way around, you let me know and we'll talk about how much you "rule".

In our lifetime I would say.
A BRIIICSANZ Base is what you will have if you need protection.
Im sure we will have our version of The Red Cross all over America too.

Sorry, Mates, Strictly Business: Australia Wants To Cut Out US Dollar In Trade With China
By Ryan Villarreal | March 29 2013 7:42 PM
Australia is seeking to bypass trading in U.S. dollars with China in an effort to avoid the commercial uncertainties that come with the recent fluctuations in the greenback. For example, just a half a year ago, the dollar traded at about $1.20 to the euro; by February, it had weakened to $1.34 per euro and now it is going for $1.27.
...
Sponsorship Link Eliminating the dollar in trade will be the focus of Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s trip to Beijing next week. Trade with China, Australia’s primary trading partner, totaled $120 billion in the last fiscal year. China buys nearly one-third of Australian exports

You have slagged off the British in another thread now you slag off the Americans - your gloats are not amusing and deliberately provocative.
I am guessing you are an asian Australian which is why you rejoice in your delusion that Australia is now going to unite with Asia.
Good luck with that when the Americans remove their bases and the British leave you to fend for yourselves when Indonesia and China come knocking - looking for land ....

What has US done for us? A lot, actually
If there must be one superpower, let it be one that shares our values, writes Peter Costello.
Last Monday was the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Pacific. Australia and the United States went into World War II separately but came out of it together: as allies, as friends.
By February 1942 the continental mainland of Australia was under direct air attack. Australia faced its gravest security threat. But beginning with the naval battles in the Coral Sea, with the Australian land defence of Port Moresby and the island campaign under Douglas MacArthur, the war began to turn. It ended in circumstances that are well known.
Anyone who lived through that period knows that in Australia's greatest hour of need it was the forces of the United States that stood with us in the defence of Australia and ultimately secured victory in the Pacific.

Yeah...he reminds me of a lot of Aussie posters who kicked the bucket for no apparent reason.
I do know who you are talking about, but i will not divulge his name. The fact is that a lot of Aussies share the OP's sentiments, and such ideologies are volatile on ATS, because ATS is an American website.
The truth is that some of the Americans here cannot take these things lightly. A lot of you skitz out...edit on 30-3-2013 by daaskapital because: sp
The idea of Australia---the prison state----ruling the world or economy is just so hilarious.
