The world is waking up to the evil threat that is china and local manufacturing will return again as the world becomes more isolationist and moves away from china.. We use to make everything in this country now we are reliant on everyone. We have massive gas reserves about 40% of the worlds but yet we pay the highest price for gas in the world. Same with beef. Japan buys our best cuts and we are left with the scraps. Australians have zero pride in blood and soil and would sell their own mother to a foreign market to make a buck. There is nothing wrong with trade but it cant come at the expensive of the home country. Over half the workforce is on the dole at the moment. That cant last forever.
The 2020s will be a rough decade for the world. I can see a physical war with china happening by by 2030. Every single time throughout history when a so called dying power (USA) is rivaled by another power (china) it has resulted in conflict.
We are in 1913 and the winds of war are rumbling. What will be the spark that lights this powder keg?

Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.[2]

Unfortunately it's not as easy as Apple pie, to build industry from ground up, and unless we all want to pay triple the price for Australian made, manufacturing is not likely to come back. I mean how many posts i see here of howa love compared to lithgow which are double the price of howa. Even though lithgow is a better rifle?
The unfortunate reality is that we need China to buy our stuff, while we are but a tiny market for them. So they can easily buy Russian coal.. and Russia would love to sell their coal to China. And trying to find a new market for our coal....So say India, Russia would probably be trying their best to sell them coal and with lower wages in Russia it will probably be cheaper to dig it out there than here. And just like us buying the $2 tshirts from kmart everyone wants to save a buck.
This is not a trump or covid19 thread so ill only say while the first known cases are from China, there is no certainty that it originated from China. And while China, Australia controlled the virus other countries couldn't not. This fact reeally doesn't look good on their management (govt). Even third world countries like India, Pakistan, iran have less cases and deaths than some western countries. So whoop is to blame for all these deaths China that gave you the cold...or your management where you kept denying its existence.
And i am going to call bullshot on economic collapse. if you look at the share market its nearly back to last year levels, you look at companies that are allowed to open like coles, petrol stations, construction sites etc everything is going gang busters.
I got a part time worker, he's getting another $550/ fortnight extra from centrelink. I know plenty of kids working 1 or 2 shots at a local shop getting extra 1500/fortnight. House prices are still on the up. I look around and apart from businesses that are forced to close i don't see nothing bad
Honestly it almost feels like a big con job from the governments across the world to control their citizens or some similar bulldust
