text: Exports ?  Other than raw resources what the heck do we have to sell ?
   Our manufacturing sector, through four decades of Liberal and Conservative government management, trade deals etc.,  has withered to what it was in the 1980's , with a much smaller population then. 
   Asia , with no environmental standards and virtual slave labour makes everything for us now as tariffs have been slashed.
  Now our government wants to talk free trade with China and with the likes of Vietnam through TTP.
     We're up the creek with a canoe made in China and without a paddle, not even a disposable made-in-China piece of plastic crap.
