I agree has been is dangerous along with a few others. Their way of thinking is impregnated that deep it makes for a danger to our whole way of life.
Howard was the boy of wisdom locking Japan into a massive 5 cents per litre for gas. What did he see in his mud ball to do such a thing.

GUYS! Guys! guys!

Nothing new.

It's been happening for a very long time.

Part of Australia's defence strategy, is that it's hardly worth invading the place, because you get the commodities for, next to nothing! :-)

Cash crop country.... now we sell our housing from our kids' backs.

Stop whining, and don't tell me you didn't know.

Got to give it to you Steely, your ratbag green plan is working.

Your anti coal plan already has South Australia in the dark, with Victoria soon top follow.

You'll finally have Oz the poor white trash of the Pacific.

Do you think some of the Pacific islands might give us a bit of foreign aid after you've finished with us?

Tell me, is doog your assigned echo, or does he make his fool comments off his own bat? His comments make Annastacia Palaszczuk sound smart.

Of course, any new exploration and exploita6tion of new gas fields should be accompanied by a requirement to set aside a minimum proportion of the gas for a domestic market, and at prices specified beforehand, as a function of total production costs, if that's possible to calculate.

And of course, as Premier Weatherall in SA is planning, there should be stand-by coal- and/or gas-powered generators. The Snowy expansion, pump-it-uphill scheme is probably a dud, although development of the Clarence River along the same lines as the current Snowy Scheme makes a lot of sense, IF the water is pumped up and over the GDR [that's 'Great Dividing Range', not 'German Democratic Republic', Steele; sorry].

The whole world is just a big pile of BS.
So they get the cheap gas shipped thousands of klms, we get expensive gas, blackouts and fire coming out of taps...
From the gas that came out of our backyard.
Seems pretty idiotic, or should I say par for the course these days.

Everywhere I look its just total stupidity and hypocrisy everywhere.
Take this for today's example.

It's sexist and definitely not PC to comment on women's legs
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39416554
But liberal and PC for women and gays to comment on a man's penis.

I blame the left wasting money with all their idiotic programs deliberately trying to run the country into the ground, and the fools that support them.

They say democracy is great...
But one might say it's crap because neither side ever gets what they really want...
Pro's and Con's...

Here's an interesting link on how the big three robbed us
of our own gas:
