    "Australians all let us rejoice
    For we are young and free
    We've golden soil and wealth for toil,"

    That's right: Wealth for Toil - not wealth for the taking by the Prime Minister as a socialist tax. It's been good enough for umpteen Australian Prime Ministers to accept this right - until now! What's changed?

    The shareholders own the profits on the wealth extracted, not a Julia-come-lately. If Julia's so fond of the 'sovereign' wealth why doesn't she start organising the government to extract the wealth instead of allowing others to risk their cash? I guess because it's rather difficult in the first place, and not every strike is a lucky one. Far easier to wait until some company strikes it rich and then put the hand (or fist) out and steal it from them.
