The answer this this kind of thing is so obvious --

'even the yanks get it' and, not only do they get it - they get it in a bipartisan way


"“The premise is simple, if we want American workers and American companies to keep leading the world, the federal government must invest in science, basic research and innovation, just as we did decades after the Second World War,”


the yanks get it - China gets it -- meanwhile in Oz -------------- zzzzzzzzzzzzzz



all of this massive -- and, in reality - it almost redefines the word 'massive' INVESTMENT by USA and China ---------------- IMO -

will wipe out Australia's two main exports - Iron Ore and Coal --

China and the USA are researching heaps of things - and, two of those things will be ----------- materials -- and energy

my bet is - they will - and, not too far down the track find a steel replacement - and, coal - well, the writing is on the wall there --

where will Oz be when that happens?? - it might be 20 years - it might be 50 years -

what will Oz do then?? - should we wait until then to think it through? - or begin now?


the yanks - both democrats and repubicans have told us the secret to the future -

“The premise is simple, if we want American workers and American companies to keep leading the world, the federal government must invest in science, basic research and innovation, just as we did decades after the Second World War,”
