To continue the theme of “Some posters are making stuff up”, here’s one for the shower-routine-disarrayed Pintahoo who stated: ”resources??? - we have lots of sand and lots of coal and iron ore, that's pretty much it” :
Australia ranks among the top 4 in economic resources for 21 primary industrial minerals, more than any other nation. Statistics are for December 2016.[22]Units of measurement: t = tonne; kt = kilotonne (1,000 t); Mt = million tonne (1,000,000 t); Mc = million carat (1,000,000 c)
Just sayin’
