You can also thank the union movement as well as the politicians for this dangerous situation. As I pointed out on another forum the current lack of manufacturing in this country will render our armed forces useless. All our weapons and weapon systems ,vehicles, planes, ships, spare parts , uniforms, ammo and the list goes on are made overseas. We are reduced to a couple of half baked oil refineries that are battling to refine enough juice to run the country for 5 days. We are the most isolated country in the world. We can be cut off from the rest with very little effort. We need to be able to sustain ourselves in a crisis but due to gutless politicians and greedy unions we can no longer do this because our cost of production is over the top. This needs to be rectified even if we have to subsidise the most important industries.
