Thank you George for getting this out there.

Hopefully it will quell the hysteria and condemnation of Trump - there is a man who loves his country - pity we don't have someone with the gonads to do the same for Australia!

What a remarkable thing for a political leader to do; deliver on their promises in a campaign!

I wonder if anyone can imagine that happening in Australia today. Instead we are 'blessed' with arguably the weakest bunch of self serving Muppets, that we've seen in a long time.

Australia is a great nation & should absolutely be able to support its citizens in a sovereign way, manufacturing the things we need & prospering from the natural resources we have been blessed with.

We seem now to have been disconnected with the political class who chase ideologies at our expense, & sell us out to foreign influencers - arguably treasonous.

I still have a great hope for our nation, but it is entirely reliant on the God who made us & still loves us, for by ourselves, we have totally lost our way.

Your right Mike, and, i believe that, REAL Australians are different from any other nation on this Earth. We can, did, and can again, make and grow anything we need. We just have to stop these crooks selling everything that belongs to US, not the banks, and not the Politicians. Neither have got any money of their own, it belongs to US.

The level playing field has never been Australia’s friend. Because of this action- free trade agreement- our local manufacturing industries, unable to compete with foreign competitors due to their lower overheads and lower wages for their workers either went bankrupt or went offshore and Australia 🇦🇺 a once self sufficient nation able to cater and fulfill its own needs, is no longer able to feed, clothe or defend itself without outside help.

This is a brilliant take on what's REALLY happening around the World. Just have a look at last weeks financial situation around the World, it appeared that all the filthy rich craped themselves over nothing but hysteria started by Fink and blakrok, and the Chinese near Taiwan. Nothing happened in reality, just hysteria caused by more bullshit on social media. Your right George, but, as you say, there's nobody here with any balls, and, won't be in the near future unless we get some new blood at the top with brains and balls. Keep up the good work, your right on the money.

Great stuff, George. I totally agree.

And I want to bring to your attention the role that industrial hemp is going to play in Australia's economic rejuvenation. I hope you understand why this is so.

Hemp can be grown all around Australia in crops that take 100-120 days and then used to produce food, clothing, houses, medicines and nutraceuticals, ethanol and bio diesel, natural fertilisers, composite products by replacing fibreglass, cosmetics and bodycare products, ropes and fasteners, and packaging products. All round, over 25,000+ different products.

I am President of the Australian Industrial Hemp Alliance, the peak national body.

I'm also on the Board of the Federation of International Hemp Organizations.

Industrial hemp can literally enable Australia and any country, including small island nations, to live, thrive and grow independently, without undue or unwanted reliance on other nations.

Happy to discuss with you or any of your readers at any time. Check out www.hempalliance.org.au and www.fiho.org

Lots of upside all round!

We can thank Hawke and Keating for setting the first stone in the destruction of Australian manufacturing back in the seventies and eighties, when they removed tariffs on most goods coming in. I watched our steel industry cave in, car manufacturing, decimated, white goods (Fridges, TV's, Toasters) made in Sydney, clothing in the Illawarra, They all fell like domino's as they were forced to close completely or move offshore.

Where were the unions, as usual being useful idiots of the Communist International and Labor they blustered and cursed but their workers lost out because their unions were in on it. As they are now, supporting Labors idiot climate policy whilst laying the foundations to turn their CFMEU members into hospitality workers when their mines are shut down in the name of climate change.

I laughed when Nike started blubbering like a baby. because the product they make in Vietnam with underpaid slaves, overseen by a Communist government are going to be hit with import tariffs. That is the price of offshore manufacturing with slave labor.

You will never see a Nike employee on a sewing machine getting rich in that country. Nike and many others are about to get what they deserve, a well rounded reality check.

The biggest problem is, there is no difference between Labor or LNP these days. Lets not forget what that bloody Howard done to this country as well. He done more damage than Hawke and Keating put together, but i see where your coming from.

Yea but Howard and Costello took this country out of debt and into the black, then Labor promptly pissed it away. Gillard and Rudd both did the same, LNP recovered and Morrison handed over an economy that was beaten up thanks to Covid. Instead of working to reduce the debt, Labor who think they know better proceeded to and still are writing cheques with nothing in the account.

Sorry, the other thing is, Howard and costello, also sold everything we owned at the time, like, Telecom, for instance, which belonged to us, not them, so, naturally, the books would appear good.

I hear you on Telstra, at the end of the day, government are not in the business of managing large scale telecommunications networks. They had no hope of keeping up technologically and could not afforded to pay the wages of the high end brainiacs needed to keep the network functioning as it needs to. If they did not, we would be in much worse shape.

They are hell bent on keeping the road to ruin as they have been. They only put out things like tax cuts or Medicare cuts at election time then take it all back later. They don’t even care about our nickel industry which became dormant due to dirty nickel being produced in Indonesia by China. Completely not green and not helping Australia. Not that I agree with the electric car industry anyway as it’s definitely not ‘green’. However at least the nickel industry was regulated in Australia It’s a dirty game.

I suggest devoting some time to this very sensible presentation:

Trump_20250403_Is Trump right about Canada charging 250% tariffs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lURdVBCBo8

Trump says Canada has been ripping off the United States, imposing tariffs of up to 400 per cent on imported American dairy products. Andrew Chang breaks down Trump’s claims, explaining how dairy tariffs work and how likely it is that anyone is actually paying such sky-high charges.

Overall, you are right.

Import tariff is a tax on goods imported from another country.

If you want that good, you pay it.

However, we have to consider how the goods arrives on our shores.

Was it pushed or was it pulled.

If I purchased the good I pulled it.

However, producers in other countries pushes their goods into Australia through "shelf pty ltd" companies and then on sale at a discounted price that upset the local economy.

Australia lost its manufacturing base because overseas manufacturers used a door-to-door freight contract to undermine Australian legislation, aimed at protecting Australian manufacturing base/
