A follow up from my previous blog concerning the chinese takeover, just cast your sights to the situation in the Congo and dont just palm it off oh that cant happen here in Australia. In the day of the Charles Court Liberal Government the accusations were flying around that we were being sold out to the Japanese and that frightened everyone here with few exceptions and now it seems history is repeating itself with another player from the lands above us. CHINA. I cannot understand how we can just let the countries take control of our resources and and applaud their investments here. Perhaps its because in my cynical view that none of this huge investment money appears to make its way back to the ordinary people that rely on ordinary things that make life bearable for them. Things like efficient hospitals, transport, education facilities, security within our police forces and even the carers and pensioners. everyone of the mentioned are in some dispute with the government about their pay and conditions yet this is the BOOM state. I guess it is but for WHOM, politicians blow hot air and use rhetoric that means very little to Mr/Mrs/Ms Average, the old Australian Dream of a quarter acre and a house when by the boards years ago and thats because rotten management by all political parties have let it happen, but theres no poor pollie is there, no way, his/her little jam tin is full. While Mr/Mrs/Ms Average is concerned about the cost of running his/her car and pensioners raid rubbish bins for food this is the states affluence full steam ahead. The Resources Boom Whoopee For Some. The worse off we get the more we should be worried about foreign takeovers and mergers but we are not as complacent as the pollies think we are. We want to live within the state or nations wealth and thats nothing more than we deserve dont hoard it, our governments have little or no trouble to find millions of dollars for relief of disasters in other countries but cannot find anything for Australians without reviews, boards, enquiries and committees and yet the Prime Minister and all his other henchmen walk around with smiles and act like the doers of good deeds yet in truth they are our enemies. As a parting remark just think for a moment, the pollies actually have the title “Honourable”………Belinda Neal? do I need to say anymore and there is a whole list of these honourables over the years that should have been behind bars. But dont despair just enjoy you chicken chow mein, if you can afford it once the poor mans dinner was “fish and chips” if you had a party and decided to serve that up youd need a bank loan now…………….enough too distressing
