Since globalism or "free market capitalism" swept in the 1990s, our secondary industries have almost disappeared, all offshored resulting in loss of Aussie jobs and export income. The corporations don't even bother paying taxes in Australia. In that regard, Australia has been a huge loser. Now we are seeing the collapse of our primary industries with the aggressive purchasing of prime agricultural farmlands by the Chinese who are very open and honest in stating that they are all about "their own food security". Our agricultural land is under further attack from mining and coal seam gas operations. Not even Barnaby Joyce could protect the rich farmlands in his own electorate from a Chinese owned coal mine being given the go ahead. As the recent documentary on Channel 7 revealed, we just do not know how much of our prime agricultural land has been sold off to foreign interests, but we suspect it is a hell of a lot.<br />So, our secondary industries have collapsed, and our primary industries are under grave threat. So what are our politicians now saying? That we need to "diversify" by looking at "high-end service industries in education and health."<br />Where will that lead us?? A nation which has most of its diminished workforce employed as servants? (No matter what fancy tag you put on people in the service industry, they serve others.) A nation which won't be able to produce its own nails, screws and building materials and a nation which won't be able to produce its own food, but which can provide porters, bell-hops, nurses and tutors? A nation which will be weak and vulnerable to the demands of other countries. A nation which can be brought to its knees by sanctions or blockades imposed by a few foreign countries. A nation which will have to do the bidding of those countries which supply us our food, our clothing, our pharmaceutical needs and our building materials. A nation which will be so economically weak as to be nothing more than a vassal state. This is the grim and bleak future we are being pushed into, while Australians have allowed themselves to be distracted from realising their own destiny. <br /> Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-8536608717707756612015-07-09T21:54:23.566+10:002015-07-09T21:54:23.566+10:00I think you have summed up there what a lot of us ...I think you have summed up there what a lot of us are thinking Bob R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-5870412895994619132015-07-09T11:59:00.345+10:002015-07-09T11:59:00.345+10:00Frankly I couldn't give a shit which way he ha...Frankly I couldn't give a shit which way he hangs. The whole fucken world has gone gay marriage mad. Who gives a shit who can get married or not when the Chinese have moved in on our farms and are buying us out wholesale hey? Then Abbott goes and signs up a deal with China giving them the go ahead to bring in Chinese labour including tradies who are unqualified. I mean this is much more fucken important. I would of thought the Labor Party would be up in arms about this but what do I find on bloody facebook? Here is the Labor candidate for Leichardt some young flossy I never heard of prancing around looking like she won the fucken golden casket with a sign saying how she is all for gay marriage.

His reputation for being both extremely responsive to the interests of his constituents and a conviction politician has placed him in a position of high regard both at the local and the federal levels. <br />He has worked on some of the most contested policy issues of our time (e.g. Native title, Water), and held senior positions in parliament and has always behaved with great insight, diligence and dignity. <br />In sum, Warren Entsch is a great parliamentarian because of his capacity to act with consistency, frankness and sincerity. (Quoted from newsport.com.au 08072015)<br /><br />Hahaha! Conviction politician? You couldn't make this stuff up could you. Apart from his drink driving conviction what else does the great man show conviction on?<br />LoveWarriornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-48265221678235409032015-07-08T12:09:56.658+10:002015-07-08T12:09:56.658+10:00Entsch didn't turn up for the marriage equalit...<br /><br />Entsch didn't turn up for the marriage equality bill in parliament so he is just attention seeking as usual.

It would be difficult for this action to be sustained today, especially if one were the author of legislation making same-sex marriage legal. <br /><br />Stories about this member's member and the male population of the tablelands have been making the rounds for years. Clearly the days of hiding behind "a missus" are waning.
