    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the extensive drought that has affected the entire continent of Australia and may cause long-lasting economic crisis. The consequences of the drought from environmental to economic changes are discussed and the future of Australian citizens is brought to light. Now theorists are wondering if Australia citizens will live with the struggles and possibly keep their economy intact or if they will be irresponsible and face more severe consequences later.
