Australia is a victim of US hegemony. Our interest rates are locked in step with US interest rates. if we drop them before the US, our dollar dives and imports prices increase with inflation. No difference in any of our major parties. Remove the neocons and their lobby groups from canberra and introduce a gold based AU currency. We have more of it in the ground than the rest of the world. Interest rates wouldnt move outside of 2-3% and the US oligarch financial shackles would dissappear. The trouble is the Australian bourgeoisie are to stupid to believe anything other then what they are fed on MSM.
