He was sacked for a number of reasons...

Couldn't be bothered listing them.

So true, Aloof Boof. I voted for John Howard because he harnessed the economical revival of this country and led it in the right direction through unscertain times globally.


Uncertain times? I don't remember any of those. Or have I been asleep for the past 11 years?

I have to agree that the Howard government is riding on the coat tails of Labor economic policy. And it's all a little too Menzies for my liking.

Uncertain times? Yes you have been asleep. How's the rest of the world been going economically? The US needed a war to take the focus off their woes.

Before we go overboard praising this Government for it's great economic management, the mining boom has given the Coalition nearly $300 billion in tax, royalties etc.  All that money has gone in tax cuts while nothing has gone into infrastructure, social services or future job skill training. 

All this extra cash to the wealthy and middle class has only encouraged greater consumption of imported goods, which as a consquence has left us with a $550 billion trade deficit.

Most developed nations use mining booms to stash most of their extra cash away for the future - but not Australia.  We've just been on a huge spending spree.

Many economists have predicted that we are slowing right down now.  What will happen is that the only thing we'll have to show for Howard"s economic success is a massive personal debt, along with an unsustainable trade deficit that is going to be paid for - one way or another.

Don't worry Mantra the mining industry is about to boom again but this time it will be in Uranium. The Howard government has been investing into the future of families of this country. That investment is better than puting money in the bank. Smiley

Excellent remark!

Personally I am skeptical of China's ability to maintain social order so long as they resist democracy. I may be proven wrong but I am expecting some sort of social meltdown in China well before they get ready to conquer the world, let alone catch up with it.

When an extremist regime is being ditched by its own people, the government unleashes brute bloody force on the insurgents to try and keep the regime alive. If this happens, there will be alot of deaths in china. If there ever was a real threat to china's communist regime by the west, as there is,  they will try to fight us when they start to panic.

The following is a transcript of a speech believed to have been given by Mr. Chi Haotian, Minster of Defense and vice-chairman of China’s Central Military Commission. It is believed to set out the CCP's strategy for the development of China.

It is quite long - so I have provided the link and an extract.

http://en.epochtimes.com/news/5-8-8/31055.html

Quote:
Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan and some other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.

Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the white race. We the descendents of the Chinese nation are entitled to the possession of the land! It is said that the residents of the yellow race have a very low social status in United States. We need to liberate them. Second, after solving the “issue of America,” the western countries in Europe would bow to us, not to mention to Taiwan, Japan and other small countries. Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the mission assigned to CCP members by history.



The transcript is a real worry and could explain why we are increasing our military bases in Australia.
