(c) The graphical illustrations of the destination distribution of Australian exports in 2004-
2005 and 2014-2015 point towards certain key trends.
 Barring China which has managed to enhance its share significantly, all the other
destinations considered have lost share in the Australia exports from 2004-2005 to
2014-2015. One of the key reasons for the same is the rapid rise in China as the
preferred destination for exports from Australia.
 It is quite strange that while exports to China have seen stupendous increase in
absolute terms, the exports to New Zealand have languished at the level of 2004-
2005 even in 2014-2015. Also, there is one destination namely United Kingdom
where during the period, absolute exports have dwindled from Australia.
