I wonder how Turnbull will win the next election if there's a small army of disgruntled manufacturing workers causing poo poo and flipping tables?

Because the sun is setting on the British Empire and they can make their drugs elsewhere and pay 10c an hour. Protectionism and Nationalisation is probably the only saviour of manufacturing in Australia. It won't happen though. They'll sell off Auspost to Telstra and give Qantas to Woolworths.

http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/fed...022-gs8hk5.html So what happens when we have no agriculture left? Manufacutring is gone and Agriculture is becoming an export market, does that mean that food in the store becomes a strange method of Australia importing from itself?

I don't trust the British either, agriculture should be nationalized and minimized to domestic demand and possibly capped to reduce methane emissions.

open24hours posted:Has there ever been a successful example of nationalised agriculture? The Soviets produced a fuckload of grain and non-consumer perishable goods.The problem is at the time, Private farming took roughly 40% of all agricultural labor to produce only 26% of all output by value. Due to the food taxes, the food from private farms was extremely expensive and caused famine. I don't think the Soviets tried it with meats and dairy. The famines were mostly private farms that refused to be integrated into collectivism and therefore the goods got taxed to high heaven.

Australia is bad Bigly bad. Tories across the board will be looking at Trumpism and clapping. I fear that all they have to do is take Campbell Newman's brain and put it in a loud orange apparatus and will create a Tory God who will smite us all. Australia is next.

The American public elected him after Obama. There was no instability and no leadership tugowars. All it took was yelling at the status quo until it exploded. Loud conservative assholes are upon us. Abbott was an idiot but he is nothing compared to this toxic brand of conservatism. Tony Abbott is Mitt Romney levels and Trump proved there is a level below that and that level is electable.

The best thing the Rust Belt could've hoped for is a Dem running on a platform of building solar panels in America for America but they hosed that up and will probably have to import it from Germany like we do because we also hosed up the renewable shift.

I still can't get over more minorities voting for Trump. Romney didn't have nearly as toxic attitudes but 2% more latinos and 2% more African Americans voted for Trump than Romney. I guess there's some stupid ones out there who believe a wall will keep out the bad hombres and putting law and order back on TV will save our cities.

Donald Trump's gift to Australia worth billions in the long run As we sit in the foggy aftermath of one of history's most extraordinary elections one thing is clear enough – Australia just received an enormous shot of financial adrenalin. We are accidental collateral winners from the Republican victory in the US. Call it the Trump gift and it's worth billions. Trump's policy centrepiece to spend $1 trillion to rebuild America's infrastructure signals a massive increase in demand for commodities like iron ore and coal, which Australia produces. And since declaring he was set to "fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals", the prices of these commodities have taken off like a rocket. The price of Iron ore – our biggest export – has soared to almost US$75 a tonne which is almost double where it was at the start of the year. In the past few days since the days it has gained more than 8 per cent. According to Australian government's budget papers, the effect in 2017/18 of a change in the iron ore price alone is huge, with every $US10 a tonne change impacting tax receipts by $3.9 billion and nominal GDP by $13.4 billion. In the latest budget the Turnbull government had factored in a price of $US55 a tonne up from the previous forecast of $US39. If these price levels are sustained it will a positive king-hit to the budget deficit. Not in its wildest dreams would it had expected the current price levels. Coal which had already risen steeply this year also got a fresh tail-wind and is up again strongly with the contract price more than doubling this year and the spot price moving into the stratosphere. Until last week many of the best commodities experts were tipping the price of iron ore and coal would move down by the end of this calendar year and stay there in 2017. The unexpected Trump victory has turned the expectations for commodities prices upside-down. Even though Australia doesn't supply the US with coal and iron ore, the fact that the global demand for these commodities will rise thanks to Trump's big infrastructure plans, means the global prices will rise. Just how much demand will grow is unclear at this stage so its expectations and sentiment in the futures markets that are responsible for the prices soaring. Further turbocharging the expectation of increased demand is the fact that China is also undertaking an infrastructure building program, One Belt, One Road, to boost its own economy. The commodities bulls are predicting the two countries are now set to start of the mother of all infrastructure building competitions. And in the space of only a few days since the US election the fear of a massive trade war between the two largest economies in the world appears to have eased significantly. Realistically Trump's ability to turn back the clock on global trade would be limited if it resulted in huge price hikes for US consumers on goods that they have become accustomed to getting cheaply from China. And even if Trump places imposed tariffs on goods imported from China, the response from the Middle Kingdom could be to further stimulate its own economy. From an economic perspective there are some negatives for Australia not the least of which is having to ditch the Trans-Pacific Partnership which over time could have delivered new markets to our beef, wheat and dairy producers. But these will be easily outweighed by the benefits of improvements in mineral commodity prices. And for investors in Australian commodity companies the past few days has been a bonanza. Fortescue Metals has risen from $5.22 to $6.17 over the past few days. BHP Billiton shareholders have seen the stock spike from $22 to around $25 and Rio Tinto is similarly strong.

Woolworth's head of buying Steve Donohue said it was impossible to blame the tough conditions faced by dairy farmers on the supermarket's own-brand milk, which sells for $1 a litre. "Woolworths' own-brand milk accounts for just 3 per cent of Australia's total milk production, so 96 per cent of Australia's 9.6 billion litres of milk goes into other products," Mr Donohue said.

Ora Tzo posted:What would that entail? Not selling a single public asset? One Nation is hungry for recognition, doing so would make them "The" Third Party in QLD. Internal polling is rumoured to be putting them at 20% Primary Vote at the next State Election, The LNP forming an Official Coalition Agreement with them pretty much means the LNP wins the next State Election. Probably most Elections after it as well.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:But Queensland would become an uninhabitable wasteland. Also a One Nation Member would have to be Deputy Premier in an LNP-ONP Government. Meaning the clowns are coming. This pretty much makes the ALP Govt a One Term Govt, they can't counter it because the QLD Greens vote isn't high enough.
