It’s everyone else’s fault : Comments

By Graham Young, published 10/9/2024

Per capita we're 1.5% poorer. If 'Gentleman Jim' and his mates, hadn't been holding the economy to ransom for their union Siamese twins, things could have been quite different.

They are like kids: “it wasn't me”; “it was those other boys”; “they made me do it”.

There is not an adult among them.

Neither is there an audit among them, nor the prospect of one.

While the Canberra Clowns play the blame game, Twiggy Forrest is building a terminal at Port Kembla to IMPORT gas. It could be up and running by winter 2026.

The world's second biggest exporter of gas is going to import gas!

Kudos GY, ttbn.

Our deficit and GNP are very sick due to Labor policy as GY has said.

In the past I've supported unions to ensure that the workers can negotiate more equally, but I have become tired of their "militant hostage tactics". The unions don't look after the workers or listen to their members but play ideological games. There has to be a better way to protect workers interests than unions in their current form.

The unions and their mates damage the economy for ideological reasons, holding Australia hostage, making everyone worse off.

The CFMEU is in the process of being de-registered but hopefully other "militant hostage unions" will follow- and Team Australia can prosper.

As Graham Young said stupid policies such as DIE/DEI that the Woke Marxist's promote globally, undermine productivity. Australia needs to be able to stand apart from other nations to do the right thing for Australia and to break down Woke Marxist group think.

I believe that Australia needs to focus on "value added production" and "durable goods production" as well as "defense production" which will require some heavy industrial capacity. We will need to stockpile key resources for coming shortages. We need to move into preparation for conflict with China rather than current distractions

Sadly Woke Marxism has had such widespread impact that we can't get eggs for under $5 when previously we could get eggs for under $4, about a 30% increase in price. Eggs are a key source of protein for lower financial segments.
