When do we start taking the initiative and look outside
political and media driven doom and gloom?
When do we start to believe in our own Australian
expertise and stop flailing about in discontinuous rage as another ‘foreign’
company withdraws ‘hurt’ when the going gets tough but after profiteering for
years on uneven playing fields at the expense of our country?
When do politicians stop trying to assure the yet to be
unemployed that they are trying to create new jobs through all sorts of
ill-thought-through initiatives to make themselves look important and to be seen
as doing something?
Instead ….. why don’t we bite the bullet and produce our
own cars and other vehicles?
We
will soon have 3 newly vacated plants which do and can produce cars. Why don’t we produce our own world leading
new-design taxis, government cars, town cars, military vehicles, scram jets,
super tractors, planes, farm bikes, fun cars [Moke-a-like] or any other vehicle
which is useful for us as a country and can be sold elsewhere? And no, don’t call any the Kangaroo or the
Wallaby or the bloody Dingo!!
I
am really sick of the prevailing oh-woe-is-me attitude where we import expertise
[because we are so backward, stupid and don’t have any talent] only to find the
imports are wanting [EG. The Mexican triumvirate at Telstra or multiple managers
at Coles Myer or several Australian icons currently in trouble with imported
management].
We
have sold our soul to foreign manufacturers who can’t manage a decent profit
other than the ‘incentive fees’ we pay them [Ford worldwide a couple of years
ago]. And, we accept foreign management
just because they are foreign and must therefore be much better than
us.
This is utter bullshit!
Abbot and Shorten – how about working together with an
Australian collective spirit and foster/create/allow the creation of something
special?
We
are really that good!!
Yes?
How about starting by
immediately enforcing Australian only isles at supermarkets?
