Thanks mate. I am really starting to think that a whole new direction is needed. Perhaps it's time to go back to looking after us. Forget the rest of the world. We can make things here, and provide for ourselves here. We did it from the start.
The First Fleet arrived with almost nothing....and they made a country that grew.

We provided men for wars, made things, produced things like the Harbour Bridge. In the good old days we had the best aviation system in the world, run by the DCA, with Ansett, TAA and Qantas doing their respective things very well.

And without extreme legal interference. I know times change, but what I see now is things like Ansett gone, Qantas going, Ford and Holden a memory, lets throw in Mitsubishi and Nissan, Kellogs closing this week...the demise of the local shop as the big two force local farmers to ever lower margins. And in this brave new world...the jobs will come from where?
