One of the things we just don't get is that things change. It took until around 2012 for an Australian Prime Minister to note the existence of "The Asian century" in terms of importance, trade and development. The Asian century started about 40 years before. Still, it is a misnomer...it is not the 'asian century', it is the China Century, the first of probably about 5. Whilst tiny New Zealand went about 20 years ago in working out a very good trade policy with China, it took Australia more than 2 decades later to understand...and then we were forced, by China, to accept a poorer deal because we fucked around too long. We were so sure we would just be the USA's 'deputy for Asia' and so continued to treat Asia in our usual racist ways. Bad idea. The trouble with Bad Ideas is that they do take at least a few decades to fix....every bad idea...a few decades. It is not simply a matter of electing different people, it is a matter of recognising reality, and how far we are behind the present, let alone the future. If Australia can have a future, well, it will take an enormously long time for us to 'now' even get to the present of the real world. This is the problem with racism and traditionalism...it can't move, it can't adjust, it can't be real. It falls. you can't change that in 5 election cycles...you have to actually know what you are doing. the trouble with Australia is that no one expects or demands that its government knows what it is doing. Look at it....Malcolm Turnbull...my god, a fizzer of a human being...Bill Shorten, a runt bully best designed to beat the shit out of shop assistants in pie shops than lead anything...and that's the best we have. They are not the joke, we are. that's why we are going down.
