Now I’m hearing this debate about Australia’s top investors in order (United Kingdom, Belgium, Japan, Hong Kong (SAR of China), Singapore, Netherlands, Luxembourg, China, Franc) and that their net worth to the Australian economy is huge. Now let me ask you something- Are we in that much of a rush to develop every crook and cranny of our lives that we risk our very livelihoods?? Live within our means, a comment I think we need to reevaluate when it comes to living without fear of losing. We’ve lost so much throughout this Covid19 outbreak in such a short time, we’ve lost jobs, lives, our national economy is crashing, and look, it was at the mercy of our international investors, tourism and trade agreements out in play.
Make in Australia, produce in Australia, develop in Australia, invest in Australia, supply a wealth of knowledge to the world, rely on Australia, even it it means (for now) that we take a step back before moving forward again. At least when we move forward we move as an unstoppable freight train. We are a great nation, and the world knows it, that’s why they all want a piece of it, and we’re letting them at a cost of our own lives.
We’ve become so dependent on exterior forces so as to evolve ourselves that we’ve lost sight of our own worth and abilities to advance, and so -as our National Anthem ends, so will I end this piece- let’s advance Australia- fairly, where we all rejoice in our young at hearts and in our ability to embrace our freedom to live...
