Conservatives bleat loudly today. And what's all the noise about?

those commies in govt have confected a cunning caper to do some early stage processing of an Australian export to retain some of its value onshore instead of shipping it overseas.

sadly, conservatives don't favour local processing of anything exported, just dig it up and sell it overseas at what are sometimes giveaway prices.

that's why Australian gas is cheaper in Japan than Australia, where a tax regime was fingered by foreign-owned gas companies to ensure huge profits for decades at Australia's expense.

that's why the Commonwealth raises more funds from tertiary student fees than its finite gas reserves.

it's called the Rape of Australia.

but conservative lovers of greed aren't whingeing about that.

they're whingeing about a ban on live sheep exports in four years time, to be replaced with local slaughtering in country towns and exporting of carcasses instead of live sheep.

what an outrage the unfettered rights of the squatocracy to worship greed have been trimmed by the commie reds and pinkos in govt. what's the world coming to?
