Lets see what our stupid dumb and lazy politicians get out of this. If it goes ahead we should be like Brazil only paying cents per litre. But somehow i doubt our politicians will look to reducing the price of petrol in Australia. I hope they get more than the standard 6% corporations are paying all over the world??!!??!! They bloody well better.
Let's hope the extraction of this huge oil reserve is by Australian companies only, and not multinationals.
This project should be owned by the Australian people. If we had a group of political parties in this country who were genuinely concerned about making money for Australia and the Australian people, then this project should stay in Australian control, considering the Hugh financial value. Unfortunately, the Australian people now have lazy corrupt politicians who don’t work in their best interests anymore, and are only interested in as easy ride, and don’t know how to manage anything of real value. This massive natural will undoubtedly be sold off to foreign owned interests to exploit at the Australian peoples expense, because we don’t have politicians who can see the value of keeping this resource owned and operated for the financial benefit for all the Australian people. The Australian people also don’t have politicians who could successfully manage a “Lemonade stand” in a front yard, and this is the reason why ALL of Australian owned natural resources and assets are being sold-off to foreign owned companies and Governments. Maybe the people of Australia would be better off voting for foreign companies and foreign Government to Govern Australia and the Australian people, instead of these lazy self-serving Australian political parasites we currently vote in.
Too late the Rothschild's have already got their vampire fangs into it. Quote: "Linc has hired Barclays Bank to find an investment partner for the next stage of the project, costing $150-$300 million".
Another $20 Trillion just flown out the Australian window, and people wonder why I call this countries inhabitants backward and dumbarse. They constantly vote into power the same political parties and politicians that allow this to happen. Why NOT just put the whole country for sale on Ebay, and be done with it. Australia and its people having everything sold off to foreigners, is like being killed by a thousand knife slashes.
If the Australian government doesn't own al least 50% then then our politicians are traitors for the hanging. HELL why not own all of the farking thing. I know Iknow cause that farking donkeys arse Milton Friedman says it would be communism so he and the elite can grab everything. Well communism or an oligarchy whats the farking difference. Mate if i was PM i wouldn't only run our natrural resources, i would buy back all our utilities our public transport our telecommunications our roadsand ofcourse our commonwealth bank cause these things should be government controllled. In other words i would tell these cants who promised us competition and cheaper prices to fark off. Then i would be assasinated and everything would be sold off again.
Well said CD. When Federal elections amount to nothing more than an auction of self interest. When too many shallow people`s voting decisions are motivated solely by envy and selfishness, and not the good of the country, this weak stupidity will be reflected in our Government.
Many people rubbish me, and call me racist for saying the majority of Australian are backward and dumbarse, but there is a serious systemic intellectual problem with the Australian people. Why people would want to vote in a politician like Gillard, who has pathologically lied to them for over three years, and denied them their democratic right to vote on the introduction of a new tax that effects everyone, is simply staggering. The same can be said for people who want to vote for Abbott, who told everyone not to believe anything he said unless it was written done on paper. In the course of everyday life, I would never consider for a moment employing Gillard or Abbott in my business, based on their prior history, and I dont think any other reputable business would either. Therefore, why in hell, are the people of Australia so insistent on elevating one of these reprobates to the position of PM, and giving them control over Australia. I sit back, have a nice scotch and laugh at the backward simplistic view the majority of Australian have towards their politicians and Governments. These silly dumbarse Australians will vote a political party out of power at one election, and in maybe three or six year time, they will vote that same political party back into power, forgetting why they voted them out in the first place, or thinking that in 3-6 years time, the politicians of that political party have changed methodologies. LOL LOL These dumbarse backward Australians keep voting in the same incompetent political parties, that keep making the same incompetent managerial mistakes every 3-6 years, and these backward dumbarse Australians keep wondering WHY its always happening LOL LOL LOL If the above is NOT a systemic intellectual mental problem within the Australian culture, then I dont know what is. Even my mates mentally challenged daughter is intelligent enough to know that fire burns, and doesnt keep putting her finger in the fire all the time, but it would seem that the mental intellect of Australian voter is lower than my mates daughter, because they keep voting in the same idiot politicians every 3-6 years. LOL LOL I dont blame the politicians anymore, they are just there to help themselves to the tax payer funded troth, but I do blame the people, because if they want to vote in someone who lies to their face; then sucked-in - you get what you deserve.
