Australia in 2025 – and why it matters for New Zealand
==========
Australia enters 2025 in 'reasonable economic shape' with 4% unemployment; net migration from NZ to Australia has been rising since 2020, with around 700,000 kiwis in Australia; key issues include a federal election due before May 2025, potential return of Donald Trump, and a sluggish Chinese economy; cost of living is the biggest concern for Australians, exacerbated by high interest rates and housing crisis; Labor government faces challenges from immigration pressures and cultural issues; potential rise of independent candidates could lead to a minority government; Australia’s economy heavily reliant on exports to China, which takes a third of its exports; uncertainty looms with geopolitical tensions and economic factors.
