Aus deficit: AUD$ 296 billion
Aus population: 22.6 million
296billion/22.6 million= AUD$ 13,097 per person

1 Aus dollar: 1.05 American.

Aus deficit (in american): $311 billion
Aus deficit per person (in american dollars): 13707.18

deficit and not debt? Must be debt, surely...

This is where it gets confusing Stu. I read deficit of GDP=Gross Debt, and think that the news articles I got those figures from think the same. I am no economist and according to world standards Aussie "Debt" is laughable low (I think we rated 12th spot globally) Can find the news article if you are interested ...
