And they have the gall to even think about banning iron ore export to China
Australia is going to run out of fuel and won't be able to drive cars or fly aircraft or mow their lawns.
Yeah, I am getting sick of the leadership in australia right now. Sooner or later, well I am awaiting the day that the west get there judgement and sooner or later, it will be these damn Anglo Saxon convicts that get treat like the scum they deserve. As an ABC I should be talking like this but really after first hand experience to their bullshit, really they do deserve an honest to God copping to the face for once and I still wish for Rupert Murdoch to get the bootAnd they have the gall to even think about banning iron ore export to China
The arrogance of these convict descendants is repulsive
Brexit and Scottish independence required a simple majority though. China required 2/3rd vote to join UN
Is that any different from fake-Nobel peace prize ‘winners’ or rage and ignorance fuelled Karen’s and Kevin’s getting the same voting power as real Nobel Prize winning scientists?Yes. And on top of that. In the U.N. a tiny nation like some of the Pacific island who can easily be bought off by certain members get the same voice as China with 1.4 billion people.
As I said, their democracy is how they determined the rules.
There were very good reasons why democracy, when it was first invented, limited votes to nobles and leaders rather than having a blanket vote for everyone in town.

Modern western democracy is surprisingly similar to communism in that it looks great in theory, but rapidly becomes fatally dysfunctional in practice.
To be fair, this is the intent of the UN, and has worked in China's favor more than once.
That is not a trait exclusive to either western democracy or communism. Everything can look great in theory but fail spectacularly in practice. That's why engineers conduct tests on their designs.
China has not abandoned communism. It has simply realized that communism is something you need to slowly work toward. The primary problem with the West right now is blind ideology. In fact, I would say the entire Western political system is quickly devolving into a giant cult, where no deviation from the catechism is tolerated. If you say the Earth is round when the dogma says it's flat, you get crucified.
Crikey..... NZ would be in trouble as well. Our refinery is old and only produces the lower octane fuels. We are also thinking of just importing refined fuel.
