Shadow,

Could this be the answer?

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce says "the world has gone mad" after his own government approved the highly contentious Shenhua Watermark coal mine (CHINESE COAL MINE) in his NSW electorate, despite his vehement protests.
I think it is ridiculous that you would have a major mine in the midst of Australia's best agricultural land" SMH

For a few bob more Abbott would have done a jig naked around Canberra on a frosty winters morning just to entertain the Chinese!

Shadow, just on our other topic 'Pig Iron' Bob the Nazi, did you cop the pic of Pig Iron's favorite Queenie giving the good old "SIEG HEIL" at Buck House? We know Uncle Eddy was a Hitler lover, does it run in the family? Shameful, shameful indeed.

Paul,

FYI, The money for the mine was taken by labor when they charged the Chinese $300m for the exploration rights for the area. These rights that Labor awarded them give them the right to mine the deposits they found subject to meeting the EPA and other requirements, which from what I have read they have already met.

The problem now faced by the Coalition is that the Chinese having paid a fortune to NSW for the rights, having done the exploration and environmental studies, now have a legitimate expectation that they can proceed. If the mine is rejected for no valid reason, the Chinese can sue the federal and NSW governments for $bns, and the revenue and jobs will be lost as well. This is excluding the damage done to Australia's reputation.

As for the queen at age 7 doing the Nazi salute in 1933, I would guess that even then she was more mature than you.

Shadow,

I am surprised that even you would condone a 7 year old giving a Nazi salute! What is the excuse for her mother doing the same thing, and she was a bit older than 7.

"she was more mature than you." getting personal, tut tut that's not your style, or is it. This was published in 'The Sun' in England and according to the newspaper it was in the public interest to publish, your not trying to censor this because it concerns the queen, are you?

And again I ask who is the Hong Kong Kingston investments? and how did they benefit by donating $340,000 to The Liberal Party?
