@ said:@ said:@ said:It wasn't the govt that gave away our industries it was big business that wanted to put everything offshore and pay slave wages to third world workers instead of maintaining jobs in Australia. It still continues with Telcos and banks having call centres in Asia and India. You can blame BHP for Newcastle losing all of its steel industry. Typical right wing crap to blame everyone bar their big business donors. Farmers plough produce back in to the ground because they are too scared to sell it for fear of being blacklisted by the big food chains like Woolworths and Coles. It wasn't third world countries that destroyed local butchers, bakeries, bottle shops, greengrocers petrol stations. The Murray Darling is completely stuffed from dirty deals between politicians and cotton farmers to divert the majority of water from getting down river. The mess this country is in is solely because of the greed of big business and politicians feathering the nests of their mates.
I think i disagree with every single point youve made. These things are much more systemic than you have outlined here.
Big business is owned by the elite, the elite control government, government create policy to suit their agenda, agenda is driven by governments most senior and powerful people, these people have all been placed in this position by big business and the elite.
I would have thought that was a given in everything i have said - of course govts are only puppets to multi national and big business - my response was to Demps " the russians are coming " theory in that its a furphy and rather we are being destroyed from within by big business and govt puppets.
However having said that i do accept that China is making huge inroads in to owning most of SE Asia by buying up every inch of valuable land and forcing locals out. Places like Sihanoukville in Cambodia is the perfect example of this.
