*I’m all right Johannes” stuff the kaffa*

Actually Sonofgloin, it was more like "time for you lazy wharfy types
to finally get off your arses and stop bludging on us"

Note our largest imports. Cars- German, French, Korean, Japanese,
hardly slave labour.
Pharmaceuticals- American, Swiss, German, French, British etc.
Aircraft- European, American.
Petroleum- whoever has oil wells, which is not China.

You are going to have to import a great many 7.99$ toasters from
China, to even matter, when a single bottle of a new cancer treatment
can cost 20 Grand.

I'll give you the heads up Yabby. Walk into a supermarket, a clothing store, in fact most retailers of anything, pick ten items at random and see how many are produced in Australia. Pick up the discarded packaging that is strewn around the family Christmas tree and count how many times China appears on the packaging as opposed to any other country of origin, straw man responses are not pertinent Yabby to the holistic scenario.

LOL Sonofgloin, so you judge the economy by your Christmas tree :)

Take a look at the import figures to see what we import and from
where in $ terms. You might get a shock, rather then your Xmas
tree method.

If you only buy Chinee products for your family, you are clearly
a cheapskate, Sonofgloin :)

But one of the interesting things which the Japanese Tsunami
showed was how interconnected the world is. Alot of those
production lines, which assemble goods in China, use parts from
all over the world. Some of the most expensive come from high
tech countries like Japan, Germany, Korea, etc, all countries which
train a great many engineers as part of their education systems.
The Americans make huge money out of IP. Perhaps Australians are
simply too lazy and stupid to compete in the real world, because
they had it too good for too long.

First they rode on the sheeps back, now on the miners back as well.

LOL Sonofgloin,

if its ok for our Government to judge the economy by Christmas tree , its ok for you.

We all know that’s one of the biggest ways economy is tallied up.

Don’t worry about Mr misery talking about riding on a sheep back for the rest of us while he still peddles sending sheep alive to have their throats cut to ME.

Hes riding on the back of the sheep all right and directly responsible together with the others for millions of suffering animals

Mr misery then has the Gaul to preach to us about riding on the sheep back.

Footage and photographs obtained in Kuwait and Bahrain show terrified Australian sheep being manhandled, trussed, thrown, shoved into car boots and lying across the bodies of other bloodied dying sheep on roadsides, before having their throats cut whilst fully conscious. In one incident in Kuwait three Australian sheep were forced into a boot whilst another terrified animal purchased for sacrifice was transported to a private premises chained by his neck to the winch of a tow truck.
Here is our person that we had – I have footage here of kids being taught to pull these animals eyes out laughing and all the animals screaming being tortured to death in front of each other.

Nothing has changed since then & in fact got *worse.

This! Is what I call riding on the sheep’s back . These people who send them their or support this cruelty are truly evil and sadistic.

LOL Hasbeen.

Well Adelaide is in the middle and I thought it might make the WA residents feel a bit less left out. (wink)

And it might help boost the SA economy rather than shut it down.

Adelaide does always seem to struggle a bit.

Gawd Gertrude, next you'll be expecting farmers to come to your
house and cook your food for you. If you are unable to buy livestock
and slaughter them efficiently here, then it just has to be
done offshore I am afraid. Which goes to prove me point that
city slickers like yourself really don't have much talent at all.

Its just all wah wah.
