Really? !

What gave it away ?

Anyway the point is, don't believe what anyone tells you. Read your contracts, research your purchases, and only part with your hard earned when your sure. Your an adult, take responsibility.

Agree wholeheartedly

At the end of the day we only get to vote for those whom the parties put forward, which is why we got a plethora of independents elected this time around.

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"

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.
