In my view, the best Mod on the Board.
Perceptions Now has just inherited some new 'Real Estate'!

Well he can moderate this if he likes ...

The Aussie dollar is low, the ASX is high riding on the back of the Dow, power prices are still too high for commerce and industry, farmers are getting ripped of, crying out for increased prices for their produce so they can get a living wage

And Steve Bannon says Australia is the canary in the mine shaft of the Australia-China trade/political experiment

Not to mention our high overall debt


Are we up the creek without a paddle?

Well, for Australia to 'rely' on China for an 'income',
is like North America relying on Africa for population growth.
Either way, you're screwed!  :P
(blame the Media 'politics', for that ;))

Personally, I think Australia should open trade with Africa.
I mean, it might make some money back from all the 'entitlement hand-outs' to Aboriginals.  :D

Farmers? Bah-humbug  >:( Those idiots chop all their trees down, negate any further productivity of making/attracting rainfall and keeping the soil from drying out. Let alone try to run a crop/herd that is unsuitable to the land at hand.  ::) Throw in that they remove trees from 'hills' and create weathered 'rock' heaps, that no longer 'filter' fresh water down into gullies. Etc, etc, etc!!! :P

Australia: Being ripped off by Asia.
USA: Being screwed by Africa.

- thanks to the 'Media' Politicians. :-X
