The eternally whining Dan can't stop personalising everything and is so devoid of goodwill, everything is impossible.

Almost as if he hopes nobody will listen to me, or take onboard,ideas that were singularly successful during the Depression-era.

As for what has been set in train, allegedly?

Nothing has been carved in stone! We do not need any more economic migrants! We do need the world's cheapest, cleanest, safest, reliable, dispatchable energy and from a source we can never ever run out of.

If we want to beat the pants off of the 'emerging" economies, we need to eliminate the profit demanding middleman and make our manufaturing, a (cooperative capitalism) factory direct model.

We need to give industrialists an irresistable reason to come here, set up cotton mills etc, engage in worker participation partnership arrangements that work for them, their extremely well-rewarded workforce.

Those reason are, the lowest costing energy, i.e., 1.98 cents PKWH!

Real tax reform as a universal 15% unavoidable flat tax, which when adjust for the lack of any compliance costs, is just 8% in real terms.

For starters, collecting at least another 60 billon per, the consequence of eliminating more holes than Swiss cheese!

And that's before the new industries we encourage get rolling, along with a exodus here, of self funded retirees, that the new deal encourages.

Self-funded, cashed up retirees are the ideal migrant. They are past child-bearing age, only need health care and that'd be via their insurance and private health care, both of which would be mandatory.

They wouldn't hang around too long, when their real estate holdings would go to the market!

The final keys to our recovery would be a massive spend on new public housing along the new rapid rail routes we'd also have to build to get the economy back into turbocharged top gear!

And I can show how that's done without taxpayers funds, or more debt! Even where we must spend a trillion! Every dollar invested returns at least 2.5 AUD!

Those who stand up and get them done, assured of a very long political life!

Keep in mind everybody that Daniel Andrews was being constantly pressured and harassed by Scott Morrison, Dan Tehan, Josh Frydenberg, et al of the 'We went to Hawaii during the 2019 bushfire catastrophe' party to open the borders and get businesses and schools open immediately when Victoria was experiencing its first wave of the WuFlu.

Let me be the first to shake the hand of Scott Morrison because no one else in Cobargo seems to.

Now this is just downright annoying! Shouldn't everybody in Sweden be dead by now, I mean with no lockdown and all?
