Australia: Oz online shopping up

The average number of online purchases by Australians has grown over 46% in the last two years after stalling in the wake of the 2008 global recession. Three in 10 Australians now shop online at least once a week, compared with two in 10 New Zealanders and one in 10 Swiss, according to a study by Swinburne University of Technology. The survey of 1,000 Australians found 73% of online purchases were from local suppliers.
