Does Australia belong to you?


I was sent this earlier today - a song by the late, great Slim Dusty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT2FFc-_R0g 

He was a great Australian in the true sense, a gentleman. I had never heard him to be "Political" before, I liked it and I hope you do too.

Why does the word hate come into the equation when a political statement is put into the words of a song. Does it matter that the Australian Choco's on the Kakoda were cannibalised by the foe that we stopped because their supply lines were cut. And yet we sell millions of acres to them. Woodchips that come back as cardboard boxes containing white goods. Gas at prices we cannot buy at.
It is ironically funny that, soon, we will never be able to buy a car made in Australia. It is stupid that supermarkets are now selling overseas crayfish smaller than prawns I have used for bait, we have crayfish we cannot buy because it goes over seas to the Asian market.
I am waiting for the dollar to be renamed, it has been sold out that many times, it is ridiculous. When will we be able to buy oil in Australian Dollars instead of US Dollars?
Just ramblings of a night owl.

Don't worry Link.

A few more yrs of whinging with the rest of us as we see it all going downhill.
And we'll be under it. or dust floating out to sea as those b4 us.

Just enjoy what we got. while we got it.
and leave it all to the grandkids.

MAYBE.... Just Maybe. they can do a better job of it
than the generation or two after us seem to have been doing hey.

They have a LOT to answer for.
