hahahahahahahaha..
as the greenies tie themselves to backhoes.. and coal loaders... stopping any form of work.. I would think the unions voting green will be when the moon turns to green cheese and probably not even then..
if the greens have their way there will be no jobs to worry about they all create pollution.. or kill something..according to them
mind you doesnt stop them driving cars and flying in great big planes though.
even though that means trees being lopped to make a road or an airport..
There are more jobs than the coal pit ...
[highlight] jobs in associate with agriculture, fishing, tourism, insurance, retail, manufacturing and so on.[/highlight]
More jobs than those created by your boss, Clive Palmer. Most Australians do not work in the coal pit and it's about time you cods, pull your head out of the tailings.
agriculture... you mean the farms the Chinese are buying up... so you tell us..
fishing... what even though you have shut off most of the fishing..have you tries to buy a licence to fish of late??
tourism....yeah right... all that high priced /penalty rates holidays at home..cheaper to fly to Bangkok and back.
insurance... LOL.. selling or assessing..
retail you dont read the finance pages do you?
manufacturing.... which manufacturing are you talking about... not the car industry I trust..
we wont have one in two years.
you didnt mention construction... WOW I wonder why?
some how I do not see a lifetime of work in any of those careers you think will take the place of mining...
this country is blessed with minerals... sadly they need to be dug up..
why you think they are poison I will never know..
it took millions of years of droughts and bushfires to create this bounty..
and yet you can see no worth in it..
just whinge whinge whinge.
good luck with the insurance selling..
