Australia pivots towards the Asian Century

That is the official document from the Australian government on how the country could/should adapt to the changing conditions outside Australia and to the demographic changes within the country. (ht)

I wish the report didn't have a corny map like the one below... looks like Australia is trying to parachute down and away from the dark clouds way above :)

Yes, a good idea to systematically think about how to integrate with Asia where the action will be this century, unlike the approach here in the US, which is to portray China as a villain that we have to be ready to fight against.  Our pivoting is for all the wrong reasons, it seems like.

What a long way from this cartoon that I saw, among others, at the immigration museum in Melbourne!

Good luck to them.
