AUSTRALIA OPEN FOR BUSINESS...COME ON DOWN UNDER

Join massive tax  dodging international  corporations, slavers, transfer pricing rorts, local  millionaires  who  pay no tax , dodgy companies galore , bloodsuckers who  prey on  vulnerable  groups,  ineffectual, slow to act  regulators , the growing  Americanisation of the workforce, union bashing, large companies which screw farmers and suppliers , banks  which get  guaranteed public  protection yet  are slow passing  on RBA interest rate cuts,  some  staff  criminally mislead   investors  and   ruthlessly  turf  struggling  families off  pastoral properties ,  a blind-eyed , let her rip   federal  government .  WHOOPEE!!

As part of  his campaign to let the world know Australia  is open for  even  more quick buck  making business , beaming  treasurer  Joe Hockey  starts off  a  day of  trading  at the New York Stock Exchange. In the clap happy group,  on  the  left, is  Nick Minchin , a former Australian Finance Minister,  rewarded with the post of Consul-General in the Big Apple ,  who  once laughingly described Wall Street as a casino, which is true.
 
The American  people had to bail  out  the gambling finance section which almost brought on  another   global  Depression through criminal excesses , the  repercussions still  reverberating .  At  an exclusive  Christmas  party  for  those  who believe  their  organisations  are  too big  to be allowed to  fail, regarding  themselves  as  rulers  of  the universe,  they  were   recorded on camera  expressing   scorn   for   the   masses   in   a   setting which  seemed  like  a  party  for  the  French  Sun  King  ,  who  lost  his lolly  in  the  end.
