Sorry, just got back from a three month holiday and thought the forum had become a bit lost. My mistake.LOL that's what happens when you hit 80.:D
 
This is another example of this governments lack of self appraisal.
Tony Conroy telling Gina Rinehart she hasn't the right to trash the brand for all other shareholders.
Wasn't that what he was prepared to do to Telstra?
Talk about losing the plot, Julia telling the world how to fix their economies and Conroy telling Rinehart not to do what he does.:cry:

I was just about to post the same thing what a hoot, Conroy telling Rinehart anything, she wouldn't employ him the clean the toilets at the mines.
 
The new Messiah. Our Julia lectures world leaders on the economy!

But:
EUROPE has struck back at Julia Gillard's written demands for stimulus and political courage to solve the eurozone debt crisis.

European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, has told the G20 summit in Mexico on its opening day that the EU is not the cause of the current crisis and will not be lectured by anyone.
Speaking at the isolated luxury resort area in Mexico, Mr Barroso said: "Frankly, we are not coming here to receive lessons in terms of democracy or in terms of how to handle the economy."

Mr Barroso said he expected all G20 leaders "speak clearly in favour of the approach the EU is following".

Before the conference, the Prime Minister wrote to all G20 leaders urging them to adopt a spending as well as austerity policy and later urged them to follow "the Australian way" to economic success

kinda reminds me of an early Iraq invasion press conference where an Australian reporter enquired about the impact of Australian forces on the ground only to be greeted with sneers and chuckles by other officers and reporters.....must admit, it was very very funny......yeah the rest of the world really cares about our opinion....haha

Oh, please. Let's just shut all the mining down, ancillary services with it, and see how Australia goes.

Huh?

You might have to clarify - the original question was how would Australia be without our mining boom; my position is that it would not be a total wipeout of the full 19% of GDP because there would still be plenty of Aussie companies within the 9% component making a killing providing goods and services to miners overseas - capice?

Yet now we can't include them in the argument??? :confused:

No,xxxxxxxxxx , PLEASE provide a link to your claim that the Greens want to phase out mining over a 10 year period! :banghead:

If you want to be selective about what you read from other people's posts, that's your problem.

If you're going to throw a tanty, do it in the corner on your own, preferably in silence.
 
Tanty? Hardly. It is a little frustrating at times though to continue to tolerate people who make ad-hoc remarks such as "So, if we made the Greens day and phased out mining over a 10 year period," as if it is actually Greens policy to do so, without providing a link to back that up. Your post was nonsense Doc, and remains so no matter what you have said since.

I'm sure Barroso is crying himself to sleep as we speak having been lectured by the intellectual powerhouse that is Julia Gillard!

It was interesting to hear Gillard backpeddle on it all. I was streaming JJJ this morning and they played an interview her saying something to the effect of her having had a private meeting with Barroso and she told him that he was well liked by the Australian media etc etc. Her nose was browner than what's left in your average nappy.

Absolutely pathetic! If you think you're wise enough to lecture world leaders in a public forum, atleast have the cajones to stand by it! If you can't stand up to someone as insignificant and irrelevant as Barroso (who?????), then who can you stand up against?

It would make the Greens day. They know practically though that it can't be done.

I'm more interested in how you feel phasing out mining would impact the economy given your post about mining accounting for 10% of GDP. That after all was the original question.
 
Yes doctorj, the whole labor party is only just managing not to gag on its own crap. IMO
Conroy telling people not to hold shareholders or companies to ransom( like he did with Telstra).
Gillard telling everyone how well labor has done( running up the biggest budget deficits ever).
Shorten saying, I'm a goose with a pole up my rear agreeing with anything Julia says( even if it is wrong).
Swan saying any garbage (but nobody listens to him anyway).
Seats are burning Garret, who they apparently wanted to throw out but he wouldn't go.
Penny, well we won't go there, too topical
M.V.P Bob Brown, pulling up stumps after pulling off a blinder.

I wish them all well with the dirt file plan, best they sack the pommie and employ Stephen Spielberg or George Lucas. They really are going to need some special effects to cover the lack of substance in the story to date.
