>Incredibly rich just because of geographical luck
>No real industry capabilities
Australia truly is God's Country, I love living in the lucky country knowing we've had to work very little to be so rich.
I guess that's why you don't build your economy on spices, hey Portugal?
Your country is the worst possible shape and at the worst latitude with the worst mountain location to not be a giant desert
yeh but ur american
America > Emu land
We have lush rainforests, tropics, snowy mountains, thick pine forests and great plains
We have everything and lots and lots of coal because of it
ywnba
We have no industry but we should, why should we sell all our shit instead of making it here, especially when we sell it to China.
The fact our mining and industrial sector has greatly diminished is proof our leaders are failing us.
Nobody is willing to build more dams, nuclear power plants, steel mills etc.
And because of that the future of Australia is bleak, we are intentionally making ourselves poorer
Scomo's legacy, sad!
It’s the legacy of the past 20-30 years, stop being a tool.
in 10 years it will be remembered as the legacy of this post:(You)sad!
cope
how about instead of having a sook you get off your arse and start making stuff here
i'm doing my part to make australia's mining industry world class
not worth it, hence why everyone with the entrepreneurial spirit goes to America.
Labor like the Liberals are not willing or capable of creating an industrious soceity, both parties are limited by Green environmental propaganda and irrational fear of nuclear power.
Nobody from the major parties is going to fix this country and you’re stupid if you believe otherwise
Good for you
Enjoy self inflicted poverty
We don't have the economies of scale other countries and regions have, we're better off trying to capitalise on our remoteness and smallness than trying to create industries that won't be internationally viable

You just know this cunt got duped into voting for the UAP and had a big sook after they didn't win a single seat
enjoy defaulting on your debt
truly our best ally :)
We don’t have to have an internationally competitive industry if their sole purpose is to produce goods for the local economy.
Project harder faggot

hahahahaha he did

>labor and the libs are both the same mate, I'm going to vote for the party with integrity
HAHAHHA Clive fucking Palmer HAHAHA
the state of /auspol/
purely domestic industries are always going to lose to cheaper overseas commodities, unless they're propped up by the government or tariffs to make everything imported more expensive, which would be suicidal to our way of life
All of those things eke out an existence at the absolute periphery
By virtue of being an entire continent that means even a small slice is relatively large but still it could be so much better
I voted LDP cunt
Our way of life is already suicidal as is, continuing down this path of service economy bs and solar not being a good enough replacement for coal is only going to fuck us over. Plus we have directly helping the growth of our enemy’s economy, it needs to change.
We barely have any major dam projects that will end up being built and we’re facing a water crisis within the next decade. We are fucked
this is like a australian Any Forums thread
