LOOKING FURTHER FORWARDCHALLENGES
But China’s emergence also presents challenges. If commodity prices do stay at their current relatively high levels on the back of strong emerging world demand, the mineral extraction sector and all those parts of the Australian economy that service it and feel its flow‑on effects, will expand. Other sectors will, relatively, contract over time..… These sorts of adjustment in the economy have industrial, geographical and social dimensions.
