The whole country is a mess. In Qld, Power Point Pete did his share of damage with his election slogan 'Jobs Jobs Jobs'
Well he gave us the jobs alright but many of them were non-productive or in-effective ones and highly unionised at that.
BUT Oz still has the highest per capita GDP of any nation on earth. Only USA can challenge that or beat us by adjusting the accounting.
Economics of nation states works in mysterious ways.
As for Queensland, well The Tree of Knowledge, Waltzing Matilda and Qantas all came from around Winton in the Outback. So be reasonable, see it our way.
