I was getting the impression that Rudd did the same thing to her.

I didn't realize mining is so big in Australia. Seems the only export I ever hear about down there is wheat.

Anyway, if you're experiencing job loses it may be that you're just now catching up with the fun that much of the rest of the developed world went through five years ago.

Rudd is a true-blue meglomaniac. He is one also of broken promises -- such as issuing a statement after an aborted takeover bid earlier this year saying he would not challenge for the leadership again.

Mining has been a major industry here for quite a while. Apart from iron ore, there are diamond, fracking for oil is coming to the fore, and there are other minerals. Then there are the gas reserves and coal remains high on our export list. Iron ore and coal are the biggies at the moment, exported mainly to China. China coughs, and our mining industry splutters.

Wheat has had its ups and downs because of the drought. But it's cyclical, and the farmers catch up with good seasons like they've had fairly recently.

They also have (had?) a reasonably thriving agriculture and viticulture export industry.

You forgot... too many New Zealanders. Including Rusty Crowe.

As Robert Muldoon said. Kiwi's moving to Australia raises the IQ level of both countries. You have have mr Crowe. really you can. don't bother returning him ever.

Thanks again Folks.

I have come to realize that all the training in the world won't make anyone fast enough to outrun stupid.

I missed the detail somewhere, but sorry to hear about the c-bone.

We are all running from something... stupid is a good thing to run from.

It's the principle of the matter.

Do you think all these people cared about the price of tea in China?

Catching a cold yet?

It sounds like your politics is more interesting than here these days. We don't have much in the way of intra-party squabbling.

I was at the Primal factory/HQ yesterday. I have always liked their stuff and was impressed with the time they took with me in researching this #41 kit project. It appears we are headed for a jersey run only at this point, so come on over and view the research, design and sign up!

Otherwise I will think you all #41 poseurs :-P

Primal is definitely the right choice for the #41 .
