Dear Hasbeen,

What a load of sanctimonious gibberish. So Western Australians paid more than $30,000 per person not per worker mind you, in Tarriffs?

God mate you do try it on don't you. What nonsense.

Both Queensland and South Australia are great states and relatively self sufficient. It's interesting that SA was considered Australia's bread basket in the 1800's due to their many innovations and great "British ex-patriots". I have to admit that I have at times questioned the viability of the ASC. But the standoff with China has renewed my belief in the project and the necessity to control our own defense requirements.

Early German immigrants were instrumental in the
creation of the South Australian wine industry.
By the 1840s the German community in South Australia
became large enough to warrant its own German
language newspaper.

The Germans moved into Western Australia, the
Barossa Valley, the Riverina, and S. E. Queensland
where they found the regions suitable for wheat and
dairy farming, the planting of vineyards and wine
making. They formed close communities transforming
the dry marginal environment into good farming land.
