I had a quick look did not notice this so here it is, sorry to Setanta if he has already posted it. At the Bentley protest there were over two thousand people camped out there last night. Considering Lismore only has a population of around 40000 including its villages that is a huge amount. More of course turned up today, I heard the two thousand plus figure on the way to work at 7 am this morning.

No, I hadn't posted that yet. I was waiting for pics to post to show the "rent a crowd" of filthy hippies. Wink

Cops didn't turn up today apparently because of the number, they have 100 police and 100 riot squad standing by using Bentley RFS station as it's command centre.. The RFS are not pleased, the OK was given in Sydney, not locally.

Yea I heard that on the radio this morning too, the bloke speaking was apparently from the family that gifted the land to the RFS in the first place. He said they had a vote at the Bentley RFS and they all voted no but were over ruled by head office.

Labor started CSG in NSW back in 2001, the leftists were silent about this for over a decade, they only became outraged when Labor was thrown out by the people of NSW.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Australia is not in a trading bloc. It is a tiny country in global trade terms.
The energy materials drilled and sold for export in Australia are not subject to remaining in the country.

By the way neither major party in Australia has any plans to restrict its export either so that line of argument is just pissing in the wind.

Fine, if you think that we can still tax the exports more and not tax local consumers, use the increased tax on exports to make up the difference. More than one way to skin a cat.

Again. Neither party have shown any indication they will do this.
The current system is fine.

The current system is fine for gas companies and China.

Not yet anyway. Sad

Fixed the last bit for you Andrei. Wink

There's such a thing called global supply and demand.
You want to go protectionist and put up a barrier of trade restricting it to domestic only??

Not sure I'd advise a little country to do that.

Any sensible country would keep what they need and only export surplus. Roll Eyes

Australian resources for Australians first.

Global market capitalism. You are either in or out.

Now that was a silly thing to say... we can be in with our surplus.

Precisely my point. Smiley

Yes ... it's unbalanced. It's why poker tournaments always produce a winner. People with more money are more easily able to acquire even more money than those with none.
