Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard (R) looks towards Treasurer Wayne Swan during a meeting at Parliament House in Canberra May 13, 2013. Around 400,000 first-time voters go into Australia's September elections with no idea of economic hardship, adding to Treasurer Swan's mounting problems as he delivers what is shaping up as his last, and most difficult, budget on Tuesday. Australia's economy, unlike most other developed nations, kept growing in the aftermath of the 2008 global downturn. Australia has notched up 21 years of uninterrupted economic growth, helped by a mining boom fuelled by demand from China. REUTERS/David Gray (AUSTRALIA - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS)
