I worry Australia will be split down the middle

They can do it, that is Forrest, Reinhardt become billionaires by digging and selling the natural resources, so can anyone. Really, can anyone do it?

No way, Jose, not in a billion years for almost all people, definitely not me. I do not have the problem with these billionaires, and never attempt to chop down the tall poppies. Good luck if they make the money, lots of money. These mining companies help many Australians directly and indirectly to put food on the table, have a purpose to get up in the morning, and pay rent and mortgage to have a roof for shelter.

Australia is a multicultural society, but many politicians have no clue about cultural differences from one race to another. Such indifferent attitude makes most Australian politicians poor in foreign diplomacy, and make silly mistakes when making speeches.

At this point in time, financial and economic interests to get the country up running again as soon as possible is of top priority. Uncompromising and aggressive tones are setting a stage for confrontation with our trading partner who have the capacity to buy our natural resources dug from the ground, and grown from ground. They also pour billions of dollars to keep our service industries afloat.

Thank you for reading.

Once again we look like diplomatic amateurs on China

The world is getting more and more dangerous to live in, and is facing complete destruction caused by aggressive, undiplomatic, self-centred, power hungry politicians.

Australia, with reasonably low fatalities in this pandemic, unless the second wave strikes hard, can become the world leader of peace and humanity, but its government chooses to be the Deputy Sheriff and know-tow not to China but to the US.

Printing money or keep borrowing are not the ways to get Australia out of financial wows after the pandemic. Australia is not the Gilligan’s Island, and needs injection of foreign investment and having other countries to buy its coal, iron ore, wine, education and tourism.

India has more coal than Australia and Russia holds the second largest reserve. As for iron ore, Brazil is still a very large exporter despite its production has fallen to 4th place in the last quarter.
