| Calvin <334152@gmail.com>: Jan 13 03:48PM -0800 What Ho! rgt-ers, and welcome to RQ207. Australia's total trade with foreign countries totals some AU $670 billion p.a. You task is to nominate our top 15 trade partners (in AU dollar terms, goods and services, imports and exports) as per Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade data for 2013/14. So just provide a list of up to 15 countries. There will be no penalty for any incorrect countries included on your lists. Tie breaker (if required) will be by earlier entry date. You have a week or so to enter. Good luck! cheers, calvin |
