We have missed the bus in self sufficiency and trade diversification:
-we should have ran a railway from Longreach to the Pilbera & set up mega steel mills using WA iron ore & Qld Coking coal
-we then could supply steel to global clients as China, Korea & Japan are doing now using our Iron Ore & Met Coal.
-we have spent over $60 billion on a silly NBN which is just about obsolete rather than using this morey to develop our steel making.
-we allow alcan and others to turn bauxite into alumina , quench it in bars and export it rather than moulding it into auto castings etc
so , again, that we can diversify trade & add Aussie value & jobs.

How do we think that Germany, Japan Korea & China became manufacturing behemoths ? It was through Government's initiatives and financial support. Take a piddly Singapore as a modern example how a country can prosper with good Government leadership. Our silly mob follow the market rather than leading it because the Multinationals say so to protect their monopoly interests.

Singapore has learned to skim our resources by providing a market hub for BHP RIO FMG etc and managing a commodities futures market.
A few years ago it had the adacity to try to buy the ASX!
