The secret of our success: What's behind Australia's commodities boom? | 60 Minutes Australia

This is as good as it gets. We're filthy rich. As fast as we can dig up it - iron ore, gold, nickel - you name it, we're selling it. The figures are just staggering. This boom is making $1000 a second; that's a hundred million dollars an hour. What's the secret of our success? Quite simply, China and its wild rush to capitalism.

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, Liam Bartlett and Sarah Abo look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
