'ere Spide, I'll just post the starting few paragraphs...

First the reality: This is now the richest country in the world. According to Credit Suisse Research Institute's most recent Global Wealth Report, the median wealth of Australians now is well over $200,000, just ahead of Switzerland and about four times that of the United States. Other statistics show we are building ourselves the largest new houses in the world, now about 10 per cent bigger than America's, twice the European average and almost three times bigger than Britain's. Our government debt is low, so is our

unemployment rate, and our wages are high and growing, steadily and in a controlled way. We not only drip with material things, we are among the healthiest, longest-lived, least corrupt and best educated people in the world.
In comparison with almost anywhere else - and all the more obviously as most other developed countries have hit economic hard times - Australians lead blessed lives. The United Nations Human Development Index, which factors in life

expectancy, educational attainment and economic measures, placed us second in the world in 2011, after Norway. If only the index factored in weather and sporting achievement, we'd be on top of the heap

___________________________________________________________________

Yeppers we are very lucky Aus-tralyuns. Having our cards fall the way they did. I could just imagine if things were so different for both of us and there were you and I sitting in the bow of a small overcrowded boat heading to the promised land arguing about the record cost of living rises.

Wow. Quigs's greeny blogs must RSS in each night. Its kind of annoying to have to wake up to this propaganda bullshyte each morning.
Quigs muust beleive that Kevin 07 put the iron ore, copper, Gas etc etc in the ground under some kind of Pink Bat scheme to believe this fairy tale.
In the Howard governments final years, BHP, Qantas, Rio, Gina, Tinks, Palmer, Chevron etc etc borrowed billions of dollars on capital investment that is now doing the complete opposite in returning money to the country. Check BHP's current earnings as opposed to their 03-07 investment. DSo despite nearly a thousand billion in investment during that time, Howard kept the country in surplus.
Fact of the matter is, we can & should be far better off right now. Instead we have outdoor classrooms, redundant laptops in schools & pink bats that cost a billion dollars to put in now costing a billion dollars to take out. Our houses are worth 60% less & nearly every Australian owes more than they are worth. This bunch of commys & their commy supporters has thought it is ok to place $6000 on each & every Australian in national debt.
Well done labor & your supporters. No hopers. :clap::clap::clap:

Those IPA stats will send you blind Reefy.

Houses worth nearly 60% less .... hmmm. It's okay I believe everything you ever say in here, I also believe everything Alan Gloria Jones says - even the cash for comment, Andrew Bolt says, and everything in the Murdoch rags.

Gina, daughter of Lang, the asbestos king.

You should go over and read the new online mag.. http://www.theglobalmail.org/

It will be one of the big ones when the hard copy papers finally die the det of a towsend couts.

No seriously you can crack me up at times with your IPA stats. There are more cracks in your stats then in an A380 Qantas wing.

Oh and I forgot to add, I believe everything Angry Anderson has to say too

If they are lies Quigs they are better than the fairy tales you dredge & the lack of real world involvement you have. I work every day in 2 or 3 key Australia industries & I can tell you straight out how much Australia is suffering under this government. It is typical that a group like Labor & their supporters would bite the hand that feeds them, for they are living off the investments of decent Australians who own BHP, Rio, Gina, etc etc etc
yes we borrowed money using our home equity to build ports & infrastructure so we could get the shyt that this government survives upon, out of the ground.
Now our houses are worth less than our borrowings. Interest rates are always 1% higher at the time then they should be.
It is ok if you have no aspirations & are happy living in a Caravan & getting a cut of what labor/greens types would gouge from the "greedy"(otherwise knows as hard workers).
YAY lets all have windmills & mirror panels for power!!! Tax the people with aspirations to pay for it!!!
How can you support such scum.
& by the way, Abestos was not invented by Lang. This country was built on Asbestos after the war because we had no raw materials for housing. Get off your greeny/commy blogs & get yoru facts straight.

Reefy Reefy Reefy, you sound so munch like a desperate man.

I said old Lang was the asbestos King, not that he invented it. But if the IPA reckons so... then so be it, they must be right.

Hey question, do australians own BHP and RIO. Gee that comes as a bit of a shock to me. Shall we get some IPA verification of that fact or is that just anothery... to add to the otheries.

You know also how everyone these days talks about the strength of family, enjoying a strong family bond, the backbone to our society. You too, like Sloppy Joe call our Gina a decent aussie. A poster girl for all girls to look up to.

Moi, I just love how she treats her four kids. Thats what I admire so munch about her. it's not her wealth that I admire, not her share holding capabilities. It's not her power that I look up too. Yeahhhhh she is a real decent aussie gal. Just like me old neighbours mums back in the shire that loved and raised their kids.

I feel sorry if you work every day and still have financial stress on your borrowings. What is it you own, 13 houses and 2 businesses. WOW.

Talking of Work - Re my work. I did a couple of hours work yesterday morning, up at 5.30 and kicked off. Temp pushed up to 30 yesterday so my two four legged kids (the dogs) came and just annoyed me enough to walk them down the beach. Gee it was great, high tide, no one else on the entire beach, just me and two dogs.

Had to be back by 11 as I had a client coming to see me about a job. Also had a visit from a very wealthy mate who just had an offer of 2.2 million for his land. Played league with him up here 20 years ago. We are longtime mates. he was showing me some new tax cuts that I could use to get a big tax cut for another car. I just told him I was happy with my $1,500.00 Mitsubishi, and I didnt need stress.

Funny hey, how you can get into a stress free rut, and learn to respect and enjoy our great country. I love it.

Did I ever tell you about the time I spent working in the mining industry.

Great idea. Problem is, other people are paying for your lifestyle.

This bloke should help you with your shares & ownership queries.

Thats what you just can't understand Reefy, I set up and maintain my own lifestyle.

I worked very hard to get to where I am in my Tora Bora Cave with my 1996 Mitsubishi chariot.

I am very worried about the $2,500 I owe on my card, and our mortguage of $18,000.00. But we will get there.

Oh... and here are some pics I took of when I was one of the driving forces behind the mining boom in Qld. I was out at Kenmare Mine in 1998. We were a contract gang repairing choc supports used in longwall mining. The Company I worked for was based at Parkhurst, north of Rocky.

Thats me grinding away .... what a farkennnn toiler.

kenmare-02.jpg


I was lead TA, worked my way to the top with the contract gang. Ima born leadarhhhh.

When you look back it is funny how many diverse occupations a bloke can have in his working life. But three grown kids, and four grandkids, I might just leave it all to you younger blokes.

Ive got the rest of my life to live stress free.

Bananas lowest Ive seen since Cyclone Yassi was $1.29 at the new local IGA.

So we are getting two new sattelites by 2015. Jeppers, sometimes I just get the impression that one of our political parties is looking well into the future while the other mob keeps looking in the rear vision mirror and waving at Little Johnnie Howard.

One is sooooo 2005.

just read BREAKING NEWS from the Noalition on the new spaceage announcement. Apparently Tone NoNo is going to get on the phone straight away to the RAAF and have the sattelites towed back to where they came from.

Bloody do nothing Guv'ment.

Ohhh is see!!! so you have worked hard, copped it easy by being under coalition government for the majority of your working life, got yourself to a point where what the current government cant hurt you & now sit in your ivory tower proposing the benefits of windmills that I have to pay for & you don't !!!
Awesome! You sound liek a reverse greeny. Usually that mindset is kept for juveniles fresh out of Uni with a full understanding of protesting & delusions of reality. IE. somebody has to pay for renewable energy bullshyte. it wont be you now, but it would have been you 20 years ago. & if it was you then, you wouldnt have what you do now & it wouldnt be so stress free.

Do you actually know how many satellites we have & what they do? How much they cost, who we lease off etc etc?

Look, good armmm question ummmmmm look arrhhhh, ummmm, arrrrr, Look, these are big issues and we’re working through them.

It’ll all be revealed at election time.

Re the names... yes there is Speedy, it goes across the sky northwest to southeast real fast. Then there are the ones I call the twins.... they seem to run parallel to the coast line. They are good to watch.

Then there is the one I call Barnaby. It comes across from the west.

There is one real bright one I see often, I call that one Wong. She is real bright star that one.

There's a real dull slow one that I call Tony. It appears to be fading quickly overtime. If i didn't know better i'd say it is close to falling out of orbit. Or someone will press the button - - cahhhpowww!!!

but being a novice I always get alph centurous (check spellun) mixed up with a satellite, That big bright strong burning star I call Julia

Ive know the name of a lot of them. but as I set at the outset, I know them all and what they do but but but, they are big issues and I am working through them. It’ll all be revealed at election time

so you think $600 million on new satellites is a good thing then?
or are you bit confused until the greeny/commy RSS feeds come through & tell the followers what to think?

It's all irrelevant. Gillard is gone: either Rudd will attempt a challenge or she will lose the next election. Maybe The Craig Thompson affair might actually end them. Peter slipper might backfire for them. I'm putting my money on Craig Thompson.

Either way I don't know anyone personally that will vote for her again. Some might vote for Rudd but its unlikely. They are done.
