This is a bit late, but just curious;

I did Q28 "Analyse how macroeconomic policies can be used to achieve external stability in the Australian economy."
But only really focused on contractionary MP and FP, as they were the only ones which occurred to me would alleviate an issue of external instability, I felt like expansionary would probably make things worse due to Australia high income elasticity with imports etc. Do you think guys think that'll be okay or will the markers absolutely slam me?

I think that's fine. I kind of took the similar direction as you did, i.e. fiscal consolidation for fiscal policy (which pretty much ties into contractionary fiscal policy), but for monetary policy I ended up concluding that it's generally ineffective. Nevertheless, if the quality and structure of your exposition is great and you've exhibited enough economic understanding/content, then you should do alright.

You'll do fine and get a decent mark. It'd have been great to also talk about WHY expansionary would make things worse, and the slight positive benefits of expansionary policies as well, but what's done is done.
