    Hi pug

    It is all very well for governments (they are both complicit) to rave on about free trade deals and level playing fields and no tariff restrictions but they should understand that these agreements require more than some bonehead sitting at a desk drinking his/her cappuccino

    It requires feet on the ground making certain that these agreements are properly enforced, an area where the Australian bureaucracy is letting the side down badly

    Look at the recent food scares for imported food that is never checked for authenticity, quality and health

    We have these enormous public service departments which do NOTHING, hard to say that a department does nothing but if you look at any government department the work they achieve could be handled by a couple of secretaries rather than the hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats presently sitting on their touches

    it is dumping product at below the cost of production, in breach of world trade rules, in order to drive Australian companies out of business and control the market.

    If this is true why are we not stopping it? why are the relevant government ministers not attacking their departments to get things done

    Quite simple there is no control on the politicians, as such they can not control their departments.

    Change the system so that the people can kick out the politicians if they don't do their jobs like any other worker who is supposed to earn his.her salary
