on top of the commodities market, Australia is also highly active in the Finance, Construction, Medical Research, an ascendant film industry and even, to a smaller degree, Military tech industries.
it has a moderate but growing amount of international influence, widely being recognized as a regional power, a G20 member, a -possible- NATO entrant and a bridge to asia. its energy sector is a strong ace-in-the-hole for the short and long term.
it has a small but active group of first and third party game development studios, some of which are visible here - www.gdaa.com.au.
these things are just off the top of my head.
please note that it is also currently one of the best positioned countries in the world to weather the current crisis with relatively dampened flow-on effects. 4 its banks have vaulted into the world's top 15.
it's not exactly a ringing endorsement of your intellect or worldliness to spout off while not knowing any of these widely-available facts.
