Aussie $ collapse, page-51

"i would try and somehow seperate it out of domestic policy and let the miners do what they do best and then run the normal economy like an economy without mining with policies to match"

Fine, do that. But here's the kicker. The LNP have a twisted obsession. An obsession that hasn't yet realised that the Australian consumer and the Australian wage earner are the bloody same people and the pensioners and the unemployed. It is they, that are the consumers in this country.

It is they, that create the wealth in our country. Not the stock traders. Not the mortgage brokers. Not every self important paper shuffler and desk jockey.

Until the LNP and its boneheaded minions get this simple fact through their thick heads, our country will NOT thrive. "I'm allright Jack" pervades the LNP and its supporters and it is this attitude that will be the ruin of a once great country. Gone rotten from within, with many, too bloody stupid or greedy to see the writing on the wall.
