not diggin' it

Notwithstanding the good news about Ms Gillard, a scan of the newspapers makes me start to wonder whether perhaps we all waste our time at the ballot box.

It sounds to me as though a gang of bully miners have hijacked the government, and are determined to set economic policy for the country, with, of course, the full support of the obnoxious mad monk and his arch-conservative cronies.

This is a key issue for me; Julia cannot back down on the mining tax issue. She must call the miners' bluff and ensure that the a fair share of the profits from the mining of our country come back to the people, and stop allowing these bullies to skim the money from our pockets.

If they don't like it, I'm sure other miners will find a way to make a reasonable profit under the new rules.
