A Personal Opinion
SELLING OUR INHERITANCE – BLESSING DESTROYED
Australia is so wrong, at the government and private levels, to be in the game of selling off assets and companies into overseas control.
We used to be a country that was identifiable as ‘Australia’ in terms of asset ownership and management. No longer. Increasingly, we have sold segments of our birthright for cash advantage. Sadly, that cash is soon wasted, generally squandered on some ‘quick fix’ and wholly unsustainable project. We keep selling, and we keep wasting.
Increasingly, we Australians are tenants in a country owned and controlled by overseas principals. We have allowed ourselves to become bankrupt yet continue to sell off whatever bits of the farm are still left.
The US is doing this as well. So incredibly short-sighted
We live for today and damn tomorrow.
