Analysis: China is Australia's number one market in many key industries. Australia has been very good at doing business with China and very bad at diversifying | ErykBagshaw

The budget assumes a price of $US55 a tonne. It's currently at $US120, driven by supply restrictions on Brazilian iron ore and rampaging demand from China. The difference between the two prices? $47 billion, or almost twice the cost of the government's full personal income tax cut package between 2020 and 2022.It's not just mining. It's food and merchandise, students and tourists. On all counts, China is Australia's number one market.

The third largest item in the Foreign Affairs expenditure is $25 million to make sure prospective arrangements between state and territory governments and foreign governments are consistent with Australian foreign policy. That is a domestic initiative delivered through a globally-focussed department.Credit:The second largest is $62.6 million over four years to support the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with India.

Without genuine attempts at diversification, it leaves that other Australian national interest vulnerable to economic coercion: regional security.
