Gold Mines in Victoria ? https://www.yahoo.com/news/19th-century-shipwreck-discovered-off-180857769.html Transporting Chinese workers to the Gold mines in Victoria, and its' voyage back to Holland got stopped.
The Chinese chose to go to Robe in South Australia and then walked overland to the central Victorian goldfields to try their luck during the gold rush period, and to avoid the Victorian Government immigration levies then. And that ship wreck is just one of many many many on the shipwreck coast.
Yep that's what they did. And the Chinese gold mining shafts were round to stop devils hiding in the corners, unlike other gold miners who dug square mining shafts and weren't worried about devils. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03...s-500km-trek-to-ballarat-goldfields/101996162
@Mitty So why doesn't Australia mint a 1 oz coin made of Aussie gold. 1 oz because that is the common coin of nations who mint them They ran out of Chinese ?
We do mint gold coins, and a big one will cost you about $170,000 https://ainsliebullion.com.au/Buy/Type/Gold/ID/23?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=vic+gold&msclkid=507ffc13df4011b5f1b8942c43c49cca&utm_term=gold bullion&utm_content=Buy Bullion & gold

In a global economy, financial problems in the US can cripple net zero dreams in Australia. Looming US Battery Company Shutdown Imperils Aussie Net Zero Push Eric Worrall“… If Powin LLC’s present business circumstances do not improve, it is currently anticipated that a layoff will occur on or before 28 July 2025 …”
A reason I believe Australia needs a nationalist. Australia can stand alone economically and trade with other nations as a private party or a nationalist but must cease their foreign economic entanglements that really do not benefit Australians, Like selling natural gas to Japan at a lower rate than their own people. Ref.: @Sallyally Australian although from Victoria Unlike a proper American style "Separation of Powers" The Australian Parliamentary system affords the choice of voting for a party's most senior, bought, senile, globalist selling the idea that Australia will die without globalist trade, etc. A or A lite "They" have effectively shut off Australian nationalism . Who profits, really! @Jack Hays They could use some real Texans
Nothing "proper" about (nor aboot) it. The people are buffered from government. Buffered by Parliament - paid for by . . . No opportunity for a populist to emerge by popular will. eh @Jack Hays Do type slowly for her so she may, get it.
How about George Washington or Andrew Jackson ref: Jacksonian Democracy, or either Roosevelt, Eisenhower, etc. etc.
I don’t think we’d end up with someone like trump in Oz. I don’t know enough about your system of govt to argue knowledgeably but you seem to be stuck with an incompetent corrupt president who’s wrecking your systems and is there for three and a half more years unless there’s a revolution.
Well until a month or so I would say; find a Musk - Trump hybrid I wonder if such power men just can't really get along with one another And of course I disregard your editorial comments Can WE keep it "real" ?
What do you think now? is the issue power? Musk is a deadset weirdo and his best friend has knocked Musks feet out from under him.
No. Musk & Trump are uber alpha males who never could have played nice with one another for very long But an Australian Trump or Musk could serve the Australian peoples better that their system allows.
Wonder why this is? We are normally fairly easygoing but we feel as do the Swedes, Trump gets up our noses. Australians have some of the most critical attitudes towards US President Donald Trump and his administration among the world’s voters, with an international survey revealing most people find him arrogant, dangerous and a threat to the global economy. The US-based Pew Research Centre’s annual survey of global attitudes towards the US shows Australians are even more concerned about Trump and his impact than people in Canada and Mexico, which are feeling the direct impact of the president’s policy agenda. https://www.theage.com.au/politics/...-dangerous-and-dishonest-20250610-p5m65k.html
@Sallyally No One On Board Favors Australia standing on its' hind legs as a power more than Moi. Australians have been brain washed to support globalism. Feeling Australia's economy is just too wimpy, etc. Australia has minerals. Such as iron. Natural Gas it sells to foreign markets at lower prices than their own. ( ref. @Sallyally ) Australia has economic power if only it could be focused on Australians
