Population growth is crucial for Australia; to effectively alleviate the awkward situation of insufficient population, it is necessary to maintain at least one hundred thousand immigrants and 120,000 new residents every year.
Due to various large-scale constructions, Australia's per capita income has reached more than ten pounds. Correspondingly, tax revenue has also increased.
In 1901, Australia's total fiscal revenue was approximately 4.3 million pounds, while total fiscal expenditure was 13 million pounds.
Although the fiscal balance was extremely unbalanced, this was due to the initiation of numerous constructions. Without the spending on these constructions, Australia's finances could yield a surplus of nearly two million pounds each year.
Meanwhile, Australia's Ministry of Finance possesses a large sum of funds. Despite a huge expenditure of over 10 million pounds each year, the Ministry's available funds still remain above 150 million pounds.
