Explain whether your chosen country has similar grants. Compare and contrast whether Australia and your chosen country have benefitted from grants. Explain whether or not the grants have affected aggregate demand and aggregate supply in Australia. Use relevant statistical data, graphs and diagrams to support your arguments.
