Sheesh Soggy, you’re a piece of work aren’t you!

I simply read something in the newspaper and mentioned it here. And gee, guess what? It appeared to be supporting what you were saying.

<< …for every forky on $4K a week I can give you a 1000 young Aussie in the service industry on $400 per week. >>

Yes, exactly!

Those in the likes of Karratha and the mining towns are making the big bucks. Most people doing the same sort of jobs outside of the mines and associated ports are making far less.

So I say again - THAT is a two-speed economy if ever there was one!

You wrote:

<< ...let me tell you what a two speed economy really is in practical terms. When the largest returning segment of the economy employs substantially less people than the smaller returning portion of the economy you have disproportionate wealth distribution and a two speed economy >>

Yes, basically!

So why’d you go and jump down me blimmin throat then matey??

Sorry Luddy, I must have been dreaming at the time, I misunderstood your premise.

Alright Soggy. No worries. Thanks.

I may have missed it but I haven't read any reference to:

"Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established:"

The word 'indissoluble' must have some meaning.
