Take heart! We're still making things in this country; not cars, not computers, not even tooth-picks, but watering cans! What we're going to fill them with, given the deplorable state of our Murray-Darling Basin Plan, remains to be seen but such minor detail is well beyond our self-serving politicians' three-year election cycle.
In the meantime, and not here but in America, they're already building robotic hamburger-flippers which will eventually deprive several generations of young Australians of their last job prospects unless they stop playing truant and start appreciating the great privilege of a free education.
But, hey, there's always Centrelink! We're such a lucky country!
