Yes …. That is my point. Someone, sometime, somewhere should have realised that the Australian taxpayer have ‘bought’ the rights to the land, factories, and equipment, and wielded a big stick at Ford and GM, then handed the whole shebang to ……… I dunno, Twiggy Forrest, Kerry Packer, Clive Palmer ……………... and told them to make an all Australian auto industry. It may even have worked, couldn’t do any worse than at present.
But, you, and I, as individuals, cannot do anything about it.
This country has been sold down the drain for decades by Federal Govts, State Govts, and profit seeking ‘rich bastards’ who can buy favours from people with powerful friends.
The Qld Govt under Bjelke-Petersen operated on ‘cash in brown paper bags’, the NSW Labor Party has updated that to ‘cash in plastic shopping bags’ ……. corruption to the max.
Unless you are one of ‘them’ mentioned above, you are stuck with what you get.
Since when has the water in the Murray/Darling rivers been owned by overseas interests, and how was that allowed to happen ?
Now the NSW Liberal Party has denied that it is going to sell the forests. It must be running out of public assets to sell.
Fark me, what next ? This is getting to be a repetitious political rant.
