    Tangrams this is not about free markets in general. I don't care about the facebooks of the world making super profits, because they're not tapping into a sovereign resource.

    Are you telling me that BHP buying a resource tenement at the bottom of the market, because they're the only suitor left standing (so can acquire the resource for a song) is somehow fair to the Australian people? Markets and capitalism isn't about being fair, I fully understand that, but distribution of wealth from sovereign resources should have some semblance of fairness.

    People shouldn't be forced to engage in tattslotto, quite a suitable analogy for the markets right now.

    Why did you skip on the question on Saudi Arabia?

    Not saying the proposed RSPT implementation is without flaws, it's the idea in general I'm not against, because I see it in other countries (like Saudi Arabia), and it's hard to see where the problem is.
