While chatting about Australia's current economic situation I mentioned to a few friends that the Australian economy still hasn't recovered from the last financial crisis. They looked at me with a confused look and said something like "that was 10 years ago, we've recovered since then". I rattle off a few stats about debt levels ... etc. But they still don't get it. I came across this graph clearly showing that not only hasn't there been any recovery, but things are only getting worse.
