As i stated elsewhere, Japan will need a lot of materials to rebuild, Australia is in a great position to sell it to them providing a massive boost to the economy and raising the dollar again

That's a damn good point dude.
We can't expect the dollar to always be at parity, though it certainly is inconvenient.
