He is one impressive Senator and hope he does well.

At the Press club today I noted him say that the govt is not
doing enough to support manufacturing and jobs in Australia.

He said the Free Trade Agreements are not delivering what has
been claimed with more imports coming into the country
from Thailand etc compared to the additional exports out.
This means the death knell for many jobs in Australia.

More frighteningly he said that next year will see the closure
of the car industry in Australia that will see some 200,0000
jobs lost as a consequence, a terrifying prospect. No country in
the world would permit such dramatic job/industry reductions,
that favour overseas interests.

At the same time the 4Corners program has highlighted the extent
of overseas tax avoidance havens, by the super rich and multi-national
corporations including those that derive profits in Australia.
They have been allowed to operate with impunity and thats where the
focus ought to be rather than the political point scoring that is going on here.

Senator Xenophon, friend of the independent Truckdrivers (not) wants to lend a hand does he?

Funny how he likes to pick and choose who he can help send broke.
