Theme:
Australians know much more about the US and China than they do about Brazil, yet Brazil is almost as geographically large as the US and has a population 9 times the size of Australia. Its economy is the fifth largest in the world. In Europe they refer to the BRIC countries - the emerging economic giants. B comes first, and it stands for Brazil. Australians need to pay much more attention.
