Well how stupid are those Chinese corporations who are buying all the prime Australian real estate? Damn idiots only need to wait a little longer and they can get it for a song, and not a very good song at that.
Australia is not getting rich from any of its mining sales. We dig up a bit of Oz and ship it overseas to get paid a pittance today and a little less tomorrow. That bit of Oz is being replaced by little bits of plastic and technology. Technology is something thats smart today and crap tomorrow thus worthless. In the end, Australia is a refuse dump.
Everyone knows the best way to maximise a return is to improve it then flog it off. China and many Asian countries have been doing just that for years. Australian coal, cattle, sheep ,iron ore ... Thats what made so may overseas countries great.
