    "He might go away if you up the rent."
    "Where's he going to go? He's got to be there, that's where the iron ore is."
    "Yeah but you don't want to annoy him; he's destroying your back yard, that's an honour."
    Nailed it!

    "Thats very tolerant of you" Mineral exploration and expoitation ( in Australia) over rides individual ownership so that the government can receive taxes from it, (yet they under tax it so as not to upset them) so if you had iron ore in your backyard you'd have no choice but to be tolerant)

    For those that dont understand the demon behind the satite - from 1:00 onwards Brian is a representation of Australia.
    - 'Kevin' is referring to Kevin Rudd where between 2008-2010 amassed hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars on travel bills, dining & accommodation and other 'sundry' purchases.
    - Solar panels are regarding the loose spending of Australian govt on solar power rebate incentives and schemes. During the introduction of Solar Panels.
    - The 'neighbour' is referring to New Zealand particularly on immigration. 'Ignore him', around 2009-2010 tough immigration laws oppressed kiwi immigrants.
    - The iron ore scenario references to the foreign investors and foreign mining companies during the mining boom of 2008-2011 mining on Australian soil. Whereby the 'foreigners' were given government preference due to their contribution to local economy by taxes, mass employment, large local business investment, local housing development and local sales.
    Now watch it again after reading this and you will pick it up.

      @sethop_og 5 років тому +19

      Wow, talk about not getting the joke(s). The reference to Kevin is about the tendency of a new government to rip up and replace all the long term plans put in place by the previous government, nothing at all to do with anyone's travel bills. The reference to solar had nothing to do with money wasted on solar subsidies, everything to do with the ostensible ignorance of Swann and co with respect to anything related to renewable energy. I don't see how the 'neighbor' can be New Zealand; most likely it's a reference to the Aboriginal Australians. And as for the massive giveaways to the foreign mining companies, well, there's always going to be a disagreement as to what price you might have to pay to juice your economy with a bit of foreign direct investment, but it's very clear that Clarke and Dawe felt that far too great a price was being paid, with the natural implication being that this was mainly about securing donations and favours for right wing political entities as opposed to doing the right thing for Australia.

      ​@@sethop_og I'm late to the party here, but I'm so amazed that someone could get this so wrong, as dear old Beau did. Just a note that the 'neighbour' was a reference to Bob Brown; a reference to the agreement Labor made with the Greens at the time to secure a majority government, hence "we can't get to our place unless we go through his place" -can't enact policy without support from the Greens.

    @AtheistOnTheEdge No company is ''too big to fail'' because business failure is just as important to a market economy as business success.
    Governments should end ''crony capitalism'' and allow the free market to actually work if you truly want to put an end to lobbyists in politics stop giving subsidies to big corporations.
