 "Hanrahan" by John o'Brien

"We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out.

The droughts, frosts, fires and floods cycle, a bit like the boom and bust cycle, is the basic weather cycle.

Advanced Australia?

All right, now, for some the following gets a little complicated, so you're going to have to pay attention, read carefully, and stop if there's anything you don't understand."
It really doesn't matter if you don’t believe in climate warming, as there is a tremendous business opportunity for Australians in this stuff.

We have bucket loads of lithium, and the know how, to turn it into batteries.
We have the ability to make electric cars, scooters and motor bikes.
We have the iron ore and the coal with which to make steel for cars, etc. 
We have bauxite and an enormous potential solar electricity supply with which to make electricity to make aluminium.

There are enormous markets to the north, India Indonesia, SE asia, China.
These countries have some 4 billion people, with about a potential 1 billion customers.
Do I need to say that again, "1 Billion Customers"

We don’t need all of these to be our customers
We could be making about only 10,000,000 tuk tuks, scooters, etc, small vehicles a year with them all running on electricity.
If we made only $20 profit per vehicle that would make only $200 million profit a year.
This is would only be by the vehicle manufacturers.
What about the IP we would gain!

 Then there is all the other manufacturing businesses involved, not to mention the IT crowd [if we had a real NBN] creating new software.
We would need an enormous number of workers to achieve this project of this size.
Who cares whether they come by boat, plane or can walk on water, we would find them a job.
Every last one of them.

Give them a work visa on the condition that they don’t run foul of the law.
If they did then we could cancel that visa and chuck them out.


And if you think that you couldn’t feed them or house them, think again,
We throw out more food than we sell to ourselves. Think of all those skip bins that are taken down the rubbish dump full of food that has approached its “use by date” [see http://www.abc.net.au/ourfocus/waronwaste/]
And those truck loads of bananas that are trashed because they don’t have the right shape or size etc.

We export approx 25m tonnes of wheat. Plus the barley and other grains. We could feed this to people and still have plenty over to export.
We could easily feed an extra 50m people

Surely we can find someone with the "get up and go" to drive Our Australia forward.

The intellectual cripples in business, unions and the government appear to have their heads stuck so far up their own backsides that they can't see which way the wind is blowing.
None of them are brave enough to have had a new idea.

Instead, all they worry about is how hard they can tax the Australian people into recession, or how much coal, CSG, Iron ore they can dig up and ship out.

Gutless mongrels
