Its all coming together now....

Kevin the Dudd, took office with 18 billion in the bank, then he and Lesso Gillard went to town and completely FARKED this country.

Then Abbot the rabbit gets in,,, with both hands tied, and inherits a
319 billion deficit growing at a million dollars A DAY.....

WE ARE FARKED !!!!!!!

they are and they have to work as they can't get the dole . That changed after we opened the door to China and they flooded in ,Aus leaders did not want them so changed some laws .

Its must be best to change them every time with a landslide as the rubbish gets turned over .Sooner or later good men and woman who care will stand up , yes I know its a pipe dream of mine , hope is all some of us have .

Many govts have injected $Billions to keep such a large global company operational over the last few years to keep the local economy going with local employment. Who needs locally produced cars when we can really have much cheaper imported vehicles?

Maybe it is time that we should be looking at a single world-wide manufacturer for "simply the best product available." Whether that be the best car, the best oven, the best carpet.

We can import pre-cooked chicken from Thailand much cheaper than we can locally produce.

gold71: I know how you feel, I've never really had headaches until a couple of weeks back then BOOM, thought I was having a friggen aneurism, so scared I went to hospital.
I think it was due to a small infection I got from a rusty star picket, because once the wound healed the headaches subsided.
How's your teeth? Maybe that's the cause?? Hope you get it nutted out,,,,wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.


Thats worth chasing, thanks mate, still have all my own teeth, but rears are lined with that AMALGAM where school dentist students used to practice for free yrs ago. could be the Mercury leeching out, once again thank you....

I assume he means a reverse cycle air conditioner/heater. It can "pump heat" in either direction.confused

It would be a tragedy to let all those people with all those years of accumulated expertise in production, design and engineering go to waste.
How can we avert this? More subsidies, raise tariffs (again)? Somehow devalue the currency?
Or come up with an idea for another industry where some of them can use their skills? But what? Digging more holes in the ground?
