Dear Foxy,

My understanding is that Barnaby Joyce is a bit like me in that he has a concern about the extent to which China has transplanted itself in Australia.

Did you have a chance to look at the demographic map of Sydney I uploaded (a few comments back)? I think it shows why I am critical of the extent to which China has been transplanting itself in Australia. That's why I say things like 'Sydney is one of the great Chinese cities of the world' and use the term Sino-Australia to describe what the country will be like in several decades.

Foxy

Maybe I should use the term planted in lieu of transplanted. Synonymous with the British plantings in colonial America. One similarity for sure is that the British and Chinese plantings can be seen as mercantilism.

Foxy,

I agree that Barnaby's heart's in the right place.
The trouble is his head's in the wrong place.
Hence he advocates economic policies which will hurt Australia, because he thinks inability to pay our debts is a greater threat — whereas in reality Australia only borrows in the currency it prints, so has unlimited credit.

Dear Foxy,

How do you do it? You tell onthebeach off big time calling him all sorts of things and everybody including onthebeach still want to talk to you. I call Aidan et al engineers and I'm the worst person that ever walked the face of the earth. I had no idea that calling a person an engineer was the worst of all insults.

The bitter Mr Windsor hates Barnaby which probably shows that he will be an excellent choice.Usually you can tell how good a person is by his/her enemies.

Turnbull had better be careful with Barnaby around. He doesn't suffer fools or bulldust readily, & can get very prickly when faced with it. He is likely to become rather exasperated with the bag of hot air & bulldust that is Turnbull.

Just one prick from one of Barnaby's prickles & the whole bag of hot air could easily deflate.

We can only hope!
