The Aussie dollar is over parity with US dollar; bananas are as rare as hens’ teeth thanks to the floods and cyclone, and in the early ’90s Paul Keating (PM) warned that we were in danger of becoming a banana republic.

It’s them darned Hispanics, they jump the fence and work for peanuts thus devaluing the banana industry 😦
🙂
The three currencies I use the most are US dollars, Australian dollars, and British pounds. The weaker the US dollar is, the worse off I am as I am obliged to pay a number of my sellers in those other currencies.
That said, I think you’re under-stating the value of the Australian banana.
I think it is funny as well. 🙂
So do I 😉
Yup! That’s funny. When Zangada and I lived in Brisbane we had UK salaries to pay for Aussie lifestyles and thus we lived very high on the hog.
