Japanese Visitors to Australia
I’ve mentioned before that the number of Japanese tourists to Australia has been falling.
Number of Japanese Tourists Visiting Australia:
1997: 814,000
2009: 355,000
Last year there were less than half the number of visitors that were coming more than 10 years ago.
Recently the Australian government launched another campaign to attract more Japanese tourists.

Australian Election
The new Australian prime minister just declared an election for August 21.
She has only been prime minister for a couple of weeks. She became prime minister because of a coup in her party, so now she wants to seek a mandate from the Australian public and win a general election.
It looks as though it will be a close election, but I think she will win the election.
Australian federal elections are every 3 years. In 2007 I was in Osaka, so I voted at the Australian consulate.
Australia is one of the few countries in the world that has compulsory voting – if you don’t vote in the election you get fined.
