No,the mining billionaires do not determine our futures,the banksters to create money from nothing have always done so.

they pissed off Gillard and got Abbott. lucky Australians. I can see the analogy.
Paul1405,
re Hitler...no chance of that happening here. Hitler actually mobilised a massive rebuild first unlike Gillard.

Indi, I loved that clanger of yours but it seemed to go right over your head. I'll explain it, so you to can have a lough. I made a comment to Belly about putting the Greens last on the ballot paper saying maybe that is how Hitler got elected. You then chimed in trying to compare 1930's Germany to Australia now. In my usual satirical fashion I said;
"So they pissed off Von Schleicher and got Hitler, lucky Germans. Can we say so they pissed off Gillard and got Abbott. lucky Australians. I can see the analogy." In case you didn't know Von Schleicher was the German Chancellor before Hitler. How on earth could replacing Von Schleicher with Hitler be "lucky" by any stretch of the imagination, 20 million dead, half of Europe destroyed, all thanks to Hitler.
You said; "The main reason the germans stood up was that they had a gut full of incompetence" like as if it was the right decision, yes replace the incompetent Von Schleicher, but what did they get, the maniac Hitler. So with your comparison between Germany 1930's and Australia today, I sarcastically said "Can we say so they pissed off Gillard (Von Scheicher) and got Abbott (Hitler). lucky Australians. as I said I think it went right over your head.

as I said I think it went right over your head.
Paul1405,
how can getting Abbott be worse than having Gillard ? And yes , we can safely compare the society of 1930 Germany with that Of Australia today. Both on the brink, you just see the brink as a rose garden whereas in reality they're flowers on a grave.
I fail to see how you can fail to see the situation we're facing in australia. I can only assume that you are part of the group that wants to bring this country down for some religious fanatical purpose. Australia is bogged & if we don't get pulled out soon. Well, better give the bible a miss & start learning the Koran. Ah, & you can forget about leave loading. As o sung wu pointed out they don't have hourly rates either. When I was in Asia they hadn't a clue when I enquired about the hourly rate. A sign of things to come thanks to people like you. I still think you actually want this.

Are mining billionaires determining Australia’s future?

Oh god lets hope so. With their record of proven success, even a few crumbs off their table would be much richer pickings than the total loss we are experiencing with the current lot.

The whole bl00dy lot, Gillard/Rudd, our bureaucrats, & academics combined have never run a single project profitably. Not only unprofitable, they are continually way over budget, if the project actually comes to completion.

That one of the harpies from the south, Christine Milne, is the one suggesting having mining magnates run the show would be bad, is a real joke. These green twits have totally destroyed the economy of Tasmania. They have turned the once proud Tasmanians into a groveling beggar state, totally dependent on the mining states to keep them alive.

It really would be funny, if it weren't such a catastrophe.

Hasbeen,
i am totally at a loss how these people get selected in the first place. Isn't there some sort of competency test for those jobs ? They are quite happy to bludge off the mining profits but wouldn't know one end of a shovel from the other. I have really come to the conclusion that we're breeding incompetence to University level here.
They strongly object to anyone making a profit but have no objection to getting their grubby little fingers onto that profit. You see, it's one thing to burr up about mining & another to mine the loopholes for bludging off the taxpayer.
