- one of them is mining. That makes us the economic slave to China
- other one is construction and real estate. That screws our younger generations.
- it also makes the cost of living in Australia disparately higher than everywhere else. This in turn makes it harder to control something like a pandemic through PHOs... There's just no leeway in people's lives and finances to do that.

If anyone has blood on their hands, it's this bunch of bozos who made it not possible for Australia to have nuclear power.
Now we know we depending on other people to manufacture thinks for us. I too was not happy when likes car was not manufacture here anymore. With this covid and China boycott we know now how fuck we are. The only way is nuclear energy. I know it takes time and have the political wells to do it.
