Exports of iron ore,
coal,
petroleum
and a host of other
minerals play an
important role in the
Australian economy.
While the country has
immense reserves of
these commodities
and the technology
and manpower to
extract them, the fall
in their prices which
began in 2014 has
severely
impacted
the country’s growth.
