    This article is from the Beeb business and quotes a specialist in globalisation from Oxford Uni.

    If you take the words above, from Tony Shepherd, and overlay the quotes from this article, then you have a start point to develop plans for how you come out of this.

    To be honest If the big resource and mineral companies across the board are not being reviewed in their futures with Gov I would be stunned. (Well maybe not, based on many years of blasé Government, resting on its laurels, sorry resources). Now is the time to start the investment in what should be a very stable economy - we have it all to succeed internally, whereas many don’t. We don’t have any excuses for not succeeding.

    Now is the time, not to reject globalisation, but to use it to our advantage rather than let big business farm it out to Asia at our expense and watch an insipid Government follow a monetarist system that was always going to implode eventually.

    The fragility of world economy has been laid to rest. Monetarism rather than Keynesian economics has just been shown to be a fallacy. The whole thing has gone to ratshit pretty damn quick and no amount of injecting cash into the system will fix the shock that has just occurred, I.e. the system cannot and will not fix itself.

    Governments, led by the ole US of A set a framework run by a corrupted economic system that, once triggered by the correct conditions, a pandemic in this case, paralysed the global economy almost overnight.

    Now the Keynesian theory must be applied wholesale, globalisation, whilst not history, will certainly have to be rethought, and the national capability to perform or survive when the proverbial happens again, and it will, needs to be planned in short, medium and long terms with both federal and state integration.

    We had a saying in the military Called the 6Ps. Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. This now needs to be applied to a corrupted economic system and have the control and boundaries reset for the National interest.

    For politicians, this is where resting on your laurels and being lazy gets you. You follow the herd with no rational thought and you fail.

    We can be so much better. You need to lead us there. Thing is, can we trust you to do your jobs?
