No. I can't post what I give in return to those actions.

Good points and ignore the bad .... Like burning wood, wanting the heat but hating the smoke that comes with it. Getting the gain without going through the pain. Losing weight without diet, excercise or surgery. This is along the lines of utopia creation. I surrender, I am not going to argue...

Arab nations practically has its oil reserves controlled by their royal families. Hell, the entire country is theirs. That means for OZ to follow suit, you need to relinquish all controls to the powerful politicians and their families. Then allow them in their boredom or kindness develop nice...

We have turned into service based industry since a long time ago, but now with mining in decline and manufacturing shrinking, the conversion rate is accelerating. Your observation on dying shopping strip is also spot on. I have seen this happen and it is still happening. Lots of fish n chips...

a price, most people are willing to pay.

Never arguing against or for. Corruption is within our nature, whether it is capitalist or socialist, different label, same stuff. Bad for average citizen? Definitely. But since when profitability is about the benefits of the average citizen, it is about the extraction of value from everyone.

The lack of transparency, equality and competition = inefficiency of the market = what every company wants and needs to make max profit. Every capitalist's wet dream realised in those qualities (or lack of).

You can substitute bribes with official fees, but in the end it is about the same.

An immediate effect is boost in construction projects which will boost iron ore and coal prices. However, since it has done nothing so far .... the situation is very dire.

China will force usa into qe3 if china devalues their currency too much. I think in some article, china is controlling their currency devaluation in fear of retaliation (QE3) from usa.
