As the world uses the American dollar for everything it appears that even as they have printed 20% more in the last six months it still holds its value but I feel uneasy especially as they own the Australian government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8H0GHU8AQ

I am in two minds about China thinking are we selling iron ore to them to make an army to attack us with like “pig iron” Bob Menzies did with the Japanese but perhaps we should create a digital currency to make it easier to export to them even with the risks involved.

This is a very interesting video on the subject two days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd6i7dxo8fk

While I like SCOMO this shadow treasurer is pretty good too https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-17/ ... e/12772808

I disagree with Labor on more public housing when it is them wanting compulsory super and higher taxes that drive people onto it.

At least in Australia we debate the pros and cons.

I watched a very good interview between sweet Bethany Maclean who exposed Enron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7TQPbJ ... XBiIGAKF0f and Timothy Geithner who was defending propping up the shonks at the time to prevent another depression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mISlF449u84&t=678s

To me I see no problem with two watches being given to Aust post for improvements made, it is nothing compared to the WSA scandal.

I got two watches plus a miniature oil lamp for 15 years no lost time in the mine which would have been worth the same in today’s prices.

Scott Morrison really lost a lot of credibility in my view spinning to the left over the Aust PO watches when the previous CEO walked away with $10m https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-25/ ... on/8841226

After BHP gave me the same as a reward I suggested to them to increase the size of the coal blocks between longwall blocks from 20m to 40m which has saved them millions over the years.

It seems that many on this board are left wing biased just like mainstream media. Tut tut.

Dont be misleading - that relates to local government elections and NOT the state election. That has been known for quite some time.

Both sides have good people and greedy shonks but thankfully you cannot fool all the people all the time.

While Federal Labor got us out of Vietnam and did many other good things NSW Labor allowed Russel vale colliery to invest in longwall development when they should have known that they would never have used the longwall plus whacking a longwall under the Hume which has to be patched up regularly then Kristina Keneally said $500m was not a lot of money when they canned their metro.

Rather than looking after the developers I believe that by providing a much needed metro via Parramatta it would keep the Liberals in power so I sent the following submission to them.

As Parramatta will become the Central Business District of greater Sydney with overwhelming existing demand for people to get to the eastern CBD and future demand for those from further west to get there I think it should just be a fast metro from Central station to WSA with stations at Olympic park and Parramatta in auto alley where cheap land adjacent to the M4 and Westconnex has plenty of room for the eventual HSR station.

I know the developers would not make as much money but it would keep the NSW Liberals in power.

There are too many informal votes cast when it to elections for all levels of government so there are people on the voting roll that have no interested in voting witch only turn up to vote so they avoid getting fined by getting marked off the roll

Because our ports are too small for Valemax ships and they have four new import terminals perhaps China is not reliant on our iron https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-eco ... e-iron-ore

When I was in the mine if our dollar dropped one cent, they would make an extra $1m a year so when they printed $100b Australian yesterday with possibly more on the way I say start a pilot tunnel from Melbourne to Sydney so it can be widened later with passing stations at Albury and Canberra.

This would not only make our iron ore competitive but learn how to drive tunnels faster than a snail.

Joe Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election although they're still counting votes at the moment

Personally im quite happy with the result, which means Climate change action!

I think Joe is a good man who understands the world although Donald has made some changes that he will keep.

I hope America becomes the USA again. :)

All the left needs now after the American election result is a labor win in the next federal election here and a pro EU party to win the next British election so then Britain will rejoin the EU

Considering there was a referendum (very expensive) that determined what Britain would do (leave), I highly doubt any party getting elected would rejoin the EU. Whether it’s even possible, or whether the EU would allow it are more questions to consider

Yet the stupid dumb left in Excellent Britain demand a second one. The bludgers would still demand to remain if the result was the same. Widespread attempts to cheat on the voting forms were claimed to be rife. Typical of the left wing. Any dirty trick is justifiable in their minds.
