Not to mention the vast tracts of prime agricultural land that have been sold to the Chinese, Koreans, and Indonesians.

Foreign ownership of land and utilities in this country is one of the most pressing problems we face today. As I said in another thread, with the fast tracking of multi culturalism in Australia, we have a rapidly declining nationalistic outlook. So therefore the public are becoming indifferent to foreign ownership, thus allowing the easy on sell by not only this government but also the previous government. If anything the Greens were probably more nationalistic than the two major parties in this regard.

Keep Australia for Australians.

Then how about John Cain because of pyramid.

How about Meg Lees and John Howard for the GST.

Well i could go on............................ .but you get the picture,

When was the last time a politician did something good for this country and its citizens?

And yet unemployment is low, home ownership is high, house size is the largest in the world, per capita Australians are among the richest, millionaires as a percentage of the population is among the highest, etc, etc, etc, so why the (*)(*)(*)(*) do you always try to make it seem like it's the end?

Hey Tank

Ever since 1970 the standard of living has been on the decline, thast when the 1% started demanding productivity for pay rises and guess what, wages flattened out while productivity increased and when this happened CEO's started to pay themselves some astronomical salaries from the increase in profit margins.

Every decade up until 1970 the wages were increasing at a steady rate guranteeing a good standard of living.

From 1970 on wards wages flatenned out and productivity still rose, there's your profit margin that pays for CEO's and the rest of the leaches.

Now Tank what do we owe about $200 billion dollars?

Well Greece only owes about $330 billion last time i looked.

If you took away mining, the IMF would come a calling here too calling in their loans and demanding austerity from the people.

And if we couldn't pay they might say sell us the sydney harbout bridge or the opera house etc etc.

This is what is happening in Europe at the moment what makes you think we would be exempt?

Ask me how I know you're ignorant?

Don't worry, I'll answer.

Greece has less than half of Australia's population.

GDP per capita for Greece is way less than half of Australia's.

I like how they concentrate on how the "Yellow" people are buying it all up when in actual fact it's Americans who are buying it, by far.

Gee, racism wouldn't have something to do with it, would it?

Whoa, computer hiccup. I came back to the computer and it had posted the same post twice, minutes apart.
