See "Yes Minsiter, local government"

You're darn right about that, those times will never be repeated in a 1st world country, until the 3rd world countries have caught up.

Or until we reverse "free trade" and globalisation. Again those with a voice want to convince us we're better off. We've traded australian manufacturing for houses full of chinese junk. Even a surprising amount of our food is now imported. I reckon if they could figure a way to import minerals before selling them off they'd be doing that aswell...

anyway, I should just shut up...

So was I damian, we are becoming more presidential in our electoral system. When I realised that only a small amount of people in each party branch vote for the candidate that is put forward to the electorate, I was dismayed and have often voted for the independent. Often an electorate will have a party room hack foisted onto it.

Sadly I think it is too late to shut the gate now. We should as a country be finding ways of turning our minerals and ore into the finished product and selling that to the world.

Apologies if I have offended any one Peter. It seem that this thread had reached its logical conclusion and morphed onto something else.

I personally think this one is done and dusted.
