even if I agreed that it was a good idea (which I don't because I don't think dirty industries are a good idea) ---

the big question (which I've covered a million times before) - is 'how'??

you say

"and you build processing and industry here."

I say -------------- 'who is this 'you'???????????

we do NOT own the resource companies - they are almost all foreign owned - so, WE are NOT digging up the dirt - someone else is.

So - who is this 'we' who is going to build processing and industry here???

the Australian government?????? the State governments??

Private enterprise??? --- if so - why haven't they done it already?

the Resource companies? - if so - why haven't they done it already?

do we really want our governments to be building business and doing business??

isn't that what we've been getting out of for decades? --- privatising?

who and how and who's going to pay for this 'processing and industry'???

I tell you what - if the aluminium industry is anything to go by ---------- then, no thank you --------- pass ------- let some other bugger have it

Not being funny. But people like you are the reason f@ck all
ever gets done. You whine a lot but provide nothing.

Let’s hear it. What do you think would help our country? Like it has been noted; you sound like a Politician.
