How an outback town dodged the 2008 global financial crisis | 60 Minutes Australia

Sep 14 2023

Rewind to 2009 when Australia really proved itself to be the ‘lucky country’. Amidst the global financial crisis, a modern mining boom helped the nation prove experts wrong and dodge the worst of the recession. From coal mines in Far North Queensland to the gold fields of Bonnington in Western Australia, there were jobs galore for the locals.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
