Great redistribution of mining boom wealth ,excellent roads and trains in and surprisingly beautiful country with a kick arse song contest .Why is it so hard to introduce an extra tax to extra tax the likes of Gina Rynehart and Pixie and Clive and why can't we have the Asiavsion song contest.I just feel like we're missing out here somehow.

As good looking as the chicks from the Eurovision were Im not sure you want to follow in the footsteps of Azerbaijan.


''We live as if in the Middle Ages,'' said Leyla Yunus, the director of a local rights group called the Institute for Peace and Democracy, whose offices were bulldozed by the government last year. ''It is a very narrow circle of the ruling class which has money from oil, gas and a great corruption system.''

Does Australia have any aspirations apart from digging up the land and shipping it away?
Don't flame me, I'm just asking.

Sounds like Australia .here the mega rich maintain the status quo by throwing a bit of loose coin into scary ads that make joe Blogs think that any attempt to tax what is OURS will result in economic ruin . Gullible Joe swallows their line hook line and sinker and life goes on and we continue to have **** roads and trains and continue on our merry way to being nothing more than china;s quarry meanwhile the mega rich get mega richer and contribute what amounts to stuff all to our society .Jooliar bowing and scraping and letting in a bunch of foreign workers to help the mega rich rip as much as they can out of the earth while the boom is on and the tax is negligible makes me puke .
(floaty draws big breath here) So how are you Japie and where are you?
