There seems so much that this "wall-to-wall" Labor govt could try...They have all the money to give things a real go since Mr. Howard left the economy so strong.
So what about some different thinking?
What about getting the people overflowing from our gaols to "swing a few picks and shovels" and build a few train lines and roads. Maybe thay could even design new equipment and methodology for mass transport. They may be crims, but it doesn't mean they are stupid or incapable. It may give many of them some dignity too and help them come back in to society....but it will never happen. The do-gooders will scream to high heaven that we must not force anything upon these dear sensitive souls, but rather they should do woodworking inside all day and watch TV if they feel tired.
The current thinking will not alleviate any woes about housing shortage, skyrocketing mortages etc. Over in Quatar (or whatever that place is) they build cities in the desert! Yeah they have loads of money, but we can do it too...We have cheap labor in the gaols (the equivalent of loads of money) and if we pull out of Iraq we will have an army that is well eqiipped just waiting around their barracks. They could guard the crims and drive the heavy machinery etc etc. We could build new cities or expand existing ones relatively easily, but with the current thinking of high wages and increased unionism, my rights, her rights, blah, blah blah, it won't happen. Instead we will stagnate in our cities and build more "Londons" instead of expanding into this beautiful country of ours.
At the last state election in WA the opposition was thought to be stupid for even thinking about building a water pipelene down the whole coast of WA, fed by the ORD River Scheme. I thought it was a great idea. Open up the whole of that dry country. Never have a fresh water problem again. But the cries went up..."Dreamer, not practical, yada yada yada"
Anyway a few paragraphs worth to stir the pot. I wonder if Mr. Rudd's advisors are even thinking outside the square..Peter Garrett, Julia, Maxine? Hmmmm....
Have a nice day,
JB
