Eminent domain doesn't steal land but pays fair market value. Not the hugely overinflated prices those (me, me, me, selfish, self-centred, dumb-ass R soles) who aren't smart enough to invest in something besides land.

Our best ideas and people are forced to look offshore for investors. Then foreigners make the millions or trillions that which could have stayed here!

Land bankers then try and blackmail developers and the community, by refusing fair value for Land the whole community needs!

Welcome to the white missions and shanty towns on the edge of town as a permanent feature, as Australia turns itself into South Africa lite; and if the voice referendum succeeds, a similar black Government.!

If someone would invest in something much better than land? Then how about my new engine that has no moving parts and instead devotes all the energy into forward or upward motion.

And will eventually power all modes of traffic/travel anywhere, including the universe. Where light speed could be achieved.

Clue. Magnetism is a stronger force than gravity, and I have conceived how to apply it to defeat gravity and provide forward and or, upward propulsion, or both.

And up to nine tons potential drive per engine with far less energy expenditure than any other engine, rocket, scram jet or conventional engine.

New printed solar panels and nuclear batteries enough to take this engine and payload anywhere.

Income potential? Annual trillions. And I predict, will shatter all land, sea and air speed records! Make Sydney to London in a couple of hours nonstop. And carbon free!

Willing to take lie detector test to prove my honesty and that the concept is scientifically sound. Recently very ill and one deaths door.

It'd be a crime and the height of stupidity if this concept is buried with me. As all the plans and blueprints are solely in my head for security reasons.

Want to build single prototype as first step and only require one investor to back me and the build of a working phototype.

I will require absolute control and security.

Graham has permission to pass on current email to bona fide, STAR DRIVE, investors.

But only if you want something way better than land or anything else currently offered!

Hasbeen, Rapid rail will require some tunnelling to bypass some private land. And possibly cheaper than paying overinflated, overhyped market value.

Graham Young said "You have to wonder whether Australia's federal and state Labor governments are trying to drive private landlords out of the residential market"

Answer- The communists see the Bourgiouse private landlords as the enemy- as the Labor party moves in steps further to the communists this is expected- soon they will tax land owners much higher in certain areas. Perhaps this would all be unnecessary if the Communists pulled in the same direction as the Traditionalists to build durable goods that sustain life- rewarding those that do a good job. Instead of reverting to "from those with the ability to those with the need"- resulting in communities of whingers each individual trying to justify why they are more needy.
