THE YEAR IS 2015. IT IS APRIL 25. It's the 100th Anniversary of the wartime landing at Anzac Cove, Turkey. We remember the brave young men. Country towns were full of life back. Recruitment trucks, as in the film 'Gallipolli', passd through towns Patriotic youth nd men would be collected for the WWI war effort. (The earlier Conscription Bill had failed.)
Yes, Australia remembers her sons and daughters who made themselves supremely useful for Australia - 6th biggest land on Earth and barely 120 years since convict settlement. The warriors made themselves supremely useful for us - for the Australia of 2015.
How dare we presume to thank them! How dare we say, "She'll be right, mate!" How dare we have our dawn services, marches ceremonies and religious, musical and culturalevents! How dare we treat Gallipolli and Australians at war as curios - like the flying ducks above the nantelpiece. We are living a lie.
Australian chidren, men and women sacrificed normality for WW1. They worked, fought and died for the comfort-bound, ungrateful Australians of 2015. The towns and cities were full of things called Australian-owned industries. Food, clothing, footear, telephone, post. media, airlines, construction. Why would one sell his-and-her national inheritance? There'd better be damned good reasons for discarding large firms in key strategic industries and maybe let them fall into the gleeful hands of enemies.
Yet that's exactly what we, as we lead up to 2015, have been doing - at breakneck speed. We're spitting on the gravestones of Australians who've made this nation great. Australia is a shadow of its former self because we have ripped the heart out of essential industries.
Are we insane? Are we too eager to give this Pearl of Great Price away? Are we too soft and trusting with our treason-happy pirating politicians?
Let's take an example. Remember milk bottles at school? (Yes, milk came in see-through bottles once!) Do we want our milk and dairy industry to be sold to foreign corporations? Of course not. But that's what our kowtowing political geniuses have been getting away with.
There's Parmalat (Italy; owns Pauls). There's Kirin-Mitsubishi (Japan; Pura, Dairy Farmers, Big M). Don't forget Fonterra (NZ: Bega Cheese, Ski, Western Star). Half of our dairy goods are in foreign hands. Now Saputo (SAP) of Quebec, Canada strolls along ready to pounce upon our 125yo Warrnambool Cheese and Butter (WCB) along with its 15% of national milk sales and lucrative Chinese xports. The Saputo family is suspected of #MAFIA infiltration but Canberra fatcats couldn't care less about a well-groomed Sicilian coming to our shores.
It's as if the 'world's greatest Treasurer' Wayne Swan and incumbent JoeHockey and mates receives #kickbacks for breaking the 'law' and 'lore' of this vast land. YES, MINISTER!
To prevent #slavery for your children, grandkids and compatriots, please buy shares in #Aussieowned companies.
Thus, it's up to us. Please remember to look after our great legacy.
Thank you.
