Now the Japanese banks are starting on us:(
W're getting right off track here fellas.!
I wasn't referring to party vs independant, I was refering to the quality of the candidates. People vote for the leaders, very few bother to really look at the local candidate whether ind or party sponsored. That, IMO, is the essence of the problem.
See "Yes Minsiter, local government"
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...Quote:
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.

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.

Hijacked again. Now a waste of opening this thread. :((
Peter.
I personally think this one is done and dusted.
