1)

Better call the ACCC now, and mention banks, mining industry and a few other very large corporations that meet with Governments to discuss future plans.

Business meet with Government all the time, they even have organisations to represent them, with meetings.

2)

I didn't say that exports are the answer. I said that if the Government is going to use Australian Tax dollars to fund a private industry, as a tax payer I want assurance that I'm getting value for money. I want to see a long term plan.
If the Government and the manufacturers can not do that, then no Tax dollars should be given to a black hole.

The "smart people"? Are the Korean's, Japanese, German's smarter than our smart people?

This debate is not new. Two of my favourite subjects was Politics and Economics, 25 years ago. We went all the way back to the beginning of Australian Politics and Economics, and I've followed it ever since. Things don't change much, we just get faster, bigger and sometimes smarter. We find new ways to do things, we go back and forth between ideas, etc etc.

I, like many others, want a strong Australia. We want value for money from our tax dollars. We want a country that can compete with the res of the world, for our kids and their kids and so on.

Do me a favour; go check out the automotive archives. particularly from the 1960's to the present. Read about what the automotive industry started as, what Governments have done, and where we're all at now.
