Hi!

Aggregate demand (AD): Total level of spending in an economy (the total demand for goods and services within the economy)
- Consumption: The amount of money that households spend in purchasing goods/services, e.g. food, fuel
- Investment: Undertaken by firms, usually to purchase capital equipment e.g. machinery/transport equipment
- Government expenditure: Money spent by the government on infrastructure or social welfare e.g. Gippsland Rail upgrade, North East Link
- Exports: The value of goods that Australia sells to overseas consumers e.g. iron ore, wheat, coal
- Imports: The value of goods that Australian consumers buy from overseas producers e.g. vehicles, telecommunication equipment

Hope this helps
