"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!
You don't want to up the rent... he might go away. Brilliant! That's the argument we here in Pennsylvania regarding Marcellus Shale gas drilling and severance tax.
"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.
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.
What I love about this, is it just goes to show how fed up not only the British are, Americans most Europeans are of governments, but also the Ozzys, I thought you guys were good. Time for a revolution
@TheJourneyAgent Its more of a question as to whether its right t to use taxpayer money to bailout big corporate losers that make a product nobody likes. Thats the reason why i found TARP and other bailout packages especially bailing out gM to be disgusting,GM should of been aloud to fail.

Nailed it!
This was as relevant then as it is now! Brilliant and timeless!
"There's a budget"
"Does it balance?"
"In what sense, Bryan?"
LOL So true, so true.
This is some of the best satire I have ever seen.
You don't want to up the rent... he might go away. Brilliant! That's the argument we here in Pennsylvania regarding Marcellus Shale gas drilling and severance tax.
The end is the best. "Does it balance?" "In what sense?"
"He's sick? Well, take him out. There's a budget."
Classic Clarke, the man is a genius
10 billion in half a year!!! BHP is not only too big to fail, it's too big to tax! The government is too scared to upset them.
Donations, all powerful donations
Depressingly accurate description of Chilean economy.
Now that is a video clip for the ages!
Best Kiwi export of all time!
Their sodomy is pretty good too.
@Slave2PaperWithInkOn Love it!

Ok now, I’m gonna have to take break watching your channel guys, because I’m getting cramps from laughing. Whee …
i wish i could drive to work in the rumpus room... it would take the edge of the fucking gridlock in West Sydney!!!
You guys are awesome! I haven't laughed this much in a long time! :)
I have met Wayne Swan and discussed economics with him and this mock makes Swansong look intelligent.
"ya cant drive to work in a rumpus room" hahaha classic
You can't roller skate in a Buffalo herd either.

In what sense indeed: were Australia & Austrailians to think like it wasn't 2050 now maybe it wouldn't look like it's going to be 2050 then.
he's destroying your backyard, that's an honor.

Funny that 1/4 billion was an issue once... a decade years later, it's 1/4 trillion to fossil fuel industry to "compensate for future lost profit".
@D3V17Z misquote FTL...
