Re: How would you look at the Prime Minister if you were a leader from another country?

If you were a leader and especially the Indian and Chinese Premiers at the recent United Nations meeting in Denmark, what would you be thinking about the Prime Minister of Australia?

A country of just on twenty one million people, being a very small number in comparison to other nations, running around trying to create deals on climate change and the like, but at the same time here in Australia he is in charge of exporting billions of tons of Coal, raw materials, and energy to the world especially China and India.   These are the raw products, which are the creators, and generators of primary, plus secondary carbons.

If Mr Rudd were a serious man, he would very heavily tax energy and raw material exports to the world, then donate all the tax money to those countries that are need of re forestation, and re vegetation, or even where water is needed in the world to help and assist the poor..

Yes, it could be said that we may loose sales of coal, iron ore, uranium but by creating a purchase tax that went to the poor countries and those in need, it could then be presumed that other marketing countries of these raw materials could or would follow suit.  After all do we really need to sell all our resources and raw materials at once?

While this Government has been running around as headless chooks after carbon emissions and the ways to gain more taxes, what has happened to our water problems, our general food exports, and those small business families who are the real backbone of Australia?   When you were last in Government I would receive information at least once a week on Export information today and since they have been in power have heard nothing.

Last February I wrote to Mr Tanner (my local member) and suggested that a wine guarantee of 50 cents a litre or $345/per tonne of grapes be created for the wine grape growers   being the cost point and that if sales dropped below this point that the Government would pay the growers up to the 50 cents point.  There was no reply, and so many growers then left their grapes on the vines and there were many who went onto the doll.  This could also apply to grain growers who start in March and do not get paid for 18months. Without a cost cover guarantee will the Banks support these growers if the Government will not?

Mr Rudd the little man who in camera shoots, bounces up and down so he can be seen, has lost it, just as Keating did with ‘J’ curve we had to have, and Whitlam who bankrupted the country because he failed to look at imports to exports.
