thank you treefern,

your statement " but he is certainly pushing for government focus in this area so that we can be at the forefront of the industry, and not just feeding the beast with shiploads of unprocessed rock."


exactly what my point is in this political contest --

'Government HAS to be pushed' --------

Labor is on the front foot here - they are showing an awareness that is far in advance of Liberals

the Libs have been in power for several years now ------------ they seem to be barely awake that any of this is going on - they certainly seem to be only aware of it when their business buddies say something -

the scale of the changes coming is just completely lost on them -

as I have said - the Libs - we should go and read their 'Plan' --

there isn't one



I would like Labor or someone to really push hard here on research -- and, via Universities really - or the CSIRO - give it some teeth
