GLOBAL WARMING ..BORING SUBJECT...REAL CAUSE..what can we do? read ad be surprised.
There is an ongoing argument what causes Global Warming and everyone has their view, well here are the real facts and some things to think about. Before I go into why we have Global warming think about this. The Politicians and academics and "experts" say the way to stop global warming is to make all motor vehicles electric and stop the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (greenhouse gases) from entering the atmosphere. Bullshit. Petrol and diesel as a fuel for cars produces carbon monoxide gas. So what does electric car produce. Answer: An electric car has a battery that provides the power for the electric motor. So where does the electricity come from to charge your battery for your electric car. In Australia and 90% of most countries the electricity used to charge your battery comes from coal fired power stations. Stats on Coal. A typical 600 Megawatt Power station generates Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, 170 lbs of Mercury (1/70th of a tablespoon of Mercury into a 25 acre lake makes the fish unsafe to eat), 114 pounds of Lead, 720 tonnes of Carbon Monoxide, 225 tonnes of Arsenic into the atmosphere every 12 months. So much for electric cars not contributing to the Greenhouse gases. 1 Cow (one that goes moo) produces up to 400 litres of Methane gas per day. 1 tonne of Methane Gas contains 23 times more greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide. There are currently 1.5 Billion cows on the planet at this moment. The Methane gas from cows, (Agriculture) produces 14% of the worlds greenhouse gases. The U.S. Food and Administration believes that by 2030 this will increase by 60%. In NZ the cattle and the sheep are responsible for 34% of the Greenhouse gases. 1 Cow produces the same amount of Greenhouse gas a a car. So thats just shot the argument for Electric Cars to save the world.
NEXT.: There have been 5 Ice Ages over the past 2.1 Billion years with the last ice age 2.4 million years ago and lasted until 11,500 years ago. The Ice in places was up to 12,000ft deep. (380m).
If there were no coal fired power stations and no cars on the road, " how did the ice ages finish.????" What caused the greenhouse gases that melted the ice? This usually stops the "experts in their tracks" and the theory that the coal and the cars are increasing global warming. There were o cars and coal fired power stations 11,500 years ago.
So what is the "experts" theory how the ice and glaciers melted.
The theory and their answer is: Global warming previously, which melted the ice and glaciers and ended the ice ages was caused by Greenhouse gases caused by the release of Carbon Dioxide caused by the movement of Tectonic Plates that created large scale changes to the continental masses which impacted the oceans and the atmosphere currents and triggered Volcanic activity. The volcanic activity was responsible for the greenhouse gases that triggered the global warming and melted the ice and glaciers.
So is there Global Warming?: It is obvious that the globe will get warmer, There are more people, more cattle and agriculture, coal fired power stations and cars. Is the Global warming any different than it has been for the last 2.1 Billion years. Probably NO. The glaciers are melting, just like they have for 5 Ice ages with the last being finished 11,500 years ago. They are melting just like they have 5 times before. The NZ Glaciers are not melting anywhere as quick as the Northern Hemisphere so obviously living in the Southern Hemisphere has its pluses.
The more agriculture Cows and Sheep and horses and pigs etc then the more Greenhouse gases are going to be produced. How to stop the Greenhouse gas caused by man??? Can we do it?...EASY. Nuclear Energy. But the Greenies dont want it. Have you ever noticed all the Greenies who are mostly vegetarians say "Save the animals and the Plant, and they all wear leather jackets and leather belts and leather sandles. The uniform for a greenie is everything leather, from the animals they want to protect. You have to laugh. They don't want greenhouse gas, but they all want electricity and they dont want nuclear power. So what is the answer: The answer, well there is only one answer: Nuclear Power. The Wind and the Sun can only generate a small portion of electricity in an ever growing wall. The Coal and the Oil wont last forever, eventually everything will be electric and everything will be powered by Nuclear Energy. Thats as sure as taxes and dying. This is the third thing that yoiu can guarantee.
If the last 5 ice ages have all melted by nature, then mans little play with coal and electricity and cars can only add a tiny contribution to the problem. The world is going to heat up and cool just like it has for the past 2,1 Billion years and the only person that has the final say is NATURE. Nature and the movement in tectonic plates can generate the volcanic activity anytime it wants, so it wont matter what people want. At the end of the day Nature is going to rule, so enjoy the electricity no matter how you get it, because one day it will be gone and you wont be here to worry about it. We today are a mere dot on the essence of time. Dont worry, just be happy. What is life:??? Be has happy as you can for as long as you can..

USA CHINA AUSTRALIA TARRIFS (import tax)
The big question that the public would love to ask politicians is: Why does China export to the world and their products not subject to import tax (tariffs). Australia's worst Prime Minister ever Malcolm Turnbull called the trade between China and Australia as "A FREED TRADE ZONE", A LEVEL PAYING FIELD". This galagh was the Prime Minister of Australia or should I say the mouth piece for the real Prime Minister, his wife, Lucy. I think everyone knows Malcolm is really a light weight and never really had a grip on wanting to help the average aussie, but was all about being famous. E evryone really knows that but its just one of those taboo things that the gutless journo's just refrain from saying. OK back to the real story:
All products imported into Australia from China are tariff free No Tax Payable in Australia.
Products exported into China from Australia:
Wine: China import duty 50% on Australian Wine, Cosmetics into China from Australia 50%, real Honey exported into China 25%. I could go on and on but this is what Malcolm called the level playing field? I mean how can a Prime Minister say its a level playing field when we don't charge import tariffs from Chinese goods but Australia products into China are massive?
Well Here comes Trump: China the USA is going to introduce the level playing field. Tariffs on Chinese Steel, tariffs on Aluminum, tariffs on everything imported into America from China. The result: USA booming in manufacturing add the incentives, tax deductions on new plant and manufacturing equipment and Boom the USA is back.
Australia is the 60's and before had 300 Woolen Mills and the largest grower of Marino Wool. Today we are still the largest grower of Marino Wool and have ONE (1) Woolen Mill operating in Australia.
We sell Steel to China for $US60 per tonne and our Coking Coal to make steel for $US120 tonne. We export it to China who has the cheapest electricity in the world using our thermal coal. THEN WHAT: We the Australians import the steel back into Australia (duty free, tariff free and tax free) at $US3,000 per tonne. This is true not made up.
More to come on this one

GOLD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT. THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF CLONCURRY
With Gold unseemingly stoppable price rising and the rapid demise of cryptocurrencies, decline in some currencies that were thought to be indestructible and the rise of prominence of China and their financial dominance of the world, I decided to take a look at the only currency that has weathered all times and where the next big find will be.
Once upon a time a coin actually had a value. The Gold Coin had the exact amount of gold that reflected the gold price. The USA twenty Dollar Gold Coin had twenty dollars of Gold in it. The Sovereign had 8.8grams of Gold and the silver coins reflected their silver content and the penny the copper value. So what went wrong. Platinum used to be 50% more expensive than Gold, now Gold is 50% more expensive than Platinum.
The major mining companies are all now exploring for Gold, why because each day it becomes more rare. Australia started mining gold in 1890 and had peak production in 1903 of a total of 50 tonnes mined by hand in Australia. No open cuts, all underground and alluvial mining only. No excavators, no loaders, no dump trucks, they weren't even invented in those days. Now with all the equipment available to man Australia has never produced more gold than 313 tonnes in a single year. That year was 1997. In 2009 it dropped to 142 tonnes and in 2017 had only risen to 287 tonnes. With all the technical data and machinery and geotechnical and geophysical apparatuses available today, we are slowly reducing the gold flow from the ground.
THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE (CLONCURRY OUTBACK QLD?)
I did an exhaustive research on where the best next big Gold find in Australia might be and found that the most prosperous ground for Gold in Australia and of all places Queensland was not where everyone assumed, no not Western Australia. Queensland and if you asked someone where would the biggest gold find be in Queensland, most pundits would have said, Charters Towers, Mt Morgan, Croydon or Gympie. Those four are the largest producers of Gold in Queensland. No! its none of those, its actually Cloncurry which is about 100klms East of Mt Isa. Cloncurry and Mt Isa, which hosts the largest known Copper province in Australia and now hosting some of Australia's best know explorers searching for Gold. The hunt is on. The area that BHP believed was the host to a massive Gold find was named, the "Golden Triangle"
Whilst looking for Copper in early 90's, a geologist from Mt Isa Mines Ltd stumbled across a little outcrop of quartz and sampled it. Within 2 years, it was a pure Gold Mine, "no copper" and located to the West of the Golden Triangle. It started production in 1995 and produced over half a million ounces of Gold from only 750,000 tonnes of quartz ore averaging 22.6g/t Gold.
BHP in the 1980's and early 1990's had the largest team of geologists assembled, all located in a number of bush camps in the Cloncurry mineral field. Its crazy I thought, my research shows that most Gold Mines that operated in the early 1900's to mid 1900's in the Golden Triangle averaged between 20 and 50g/t Gold, yet everyone was still looking for Copper.
The greatest intensity of manpower was assembled with geologists, geophysicists, cooks, drivers, motor vehicles, in the bush 50 klms SE of Cloncurry in the Golden Triangle, South of the Townsville/Cloncurry highway. I have researched and have found the area that they were sure they would find a treasure of Gold. It was nicknamed the Golden Triangle. One area where BHP were certain to find Gold was within the Triangle in 1985, at a prospect known as Mt Freda about 50klms South East from Cloncurry township as the crows flys.
It was this area and an area around 10klms arc to the North, the North East and the North West that they believed would surrender the treasures. Several diamond core holes were drilled and several camps set up within the confines of their highly prospective area.
Geophysics of all types at the time were used including geochemical ground and air surveys, assaying thousands and thousands of gridded holes tested. In the end it seems, the weather either boiling hot or cold and rainy season took its toll and they left without finding the Big One. They did say in their mining day journal submitted to the Cloncurry Mining Wardens office, "its out there and one day someone will find it, its just a matter of time.
In the late 1990's a new group listed ASX, Matrix Metals carried out a massive geological exploration evaluation over the area known as the "Golden Triangle", after reading of the BHP failed attempt to find the source, thought to be a massive IOCG hidden somewhere in the area. BHP also carried out some drilling in a JV with the owner of Mt Freda (now owned by AMG) in 1985 and put some holes down, oddly they were drilling East as if the Mt Freda orebody had suddenly turned south. Maybe they thought the Mt Freda orebody would lead them to the IOCG they had fought so hard to find. The Company carried out geochemical grid survey over the ground to the NW of the Mt Freda Gold Project that was producing gold till the early 1990's until the gold failed to make gold operations profitable and went into shutdown mode.
The results from a massive and expensive, geochemical LAG Survey by Matrix Metals Ltd (which I have never heard of before) found that the area within the Golden Triangle, had the highest concentration of Gold in the area of survey than any other region in Queensland almost doubling the next best concentration of Gold. However, that company fell to the ground after the Copper price fell, as well as their ambitious move to Gold and the area became available once again. The Golden Triangle still held its secret and still till this day the IOCG everyone has been searching for still eludes them all. There is no question with all the concentrations of minerals, Co, U, Au, Cu As and so on in the Mt Freda and Golden Triangle area it must be just waiting for a drill hole to say, Hi here I am.
My latest research has tracked down the latest custodians of the Golden Triangle, where the holy grail of gold treasure is waiting to be discovered?, well so say physics. (no NOT psychics, physics!) A little relatively unknown company namely Ausmex Mining Group who go by the code of AMG on the ASX, not Mercedes AMG but still AMG. Its AMG's turn to take up the reins of the finding of the hidden Golden Treasure of the Golden Triangle of the outback. My research in the Mines Dept of Brisbane shows they are the current custodians of 90% of the Golden Triangle. A click on their ASX Code reveals what they have been doing and the results they have been getting, in their conquest for fame and fortune. I'm no geologist, but I can read and understand what Grams per tonne for Gold, means and from looking at their updates on the their exploration, I feel layers of intrigue may be being uncovered. Seems they have upped the ante on previous explorers. Probably, Ausmex, been using all the hard work data provided by the BHP's and others and doing homework, provided by the rest of the treasure hunters. I know little of Ausmex, at this stage other than what I found on the web. I'm not normally a metals guy, but couldn't help but wonder who now has the baton now for the unknown and hidden Gold treasure of Cloncurry, known as the Golden Triangle. Is it real? I have a feeling in my water YES. Time will Tell.

AUSTRALIA IS THE DUMBEST NATION WITH THE DUMBEST GOVERNMENT ON THE PLANET
WHY YOU MAY ASK?
Australia has the biggest deposits of Iron Ore in the world. we sell approx 900m tonnes per year almost 3 times the next biggest producers Brazil and China.
Australia has one of the largest deposits of Coking Coal and Thermal Coal in the world
Australia has one of the highest electricity costs in the world.
Australia imports from China, Steel made from Australia Iron Ore at around $4,000 tonne
On the north west coast of Australia we produce hundreds of millions of tonnes of iron ore and export it to China. On the north East coats of Australia we export coking coal to China that is used to melt the iron ore and make steel. We sell the iron ore (62%Iron) for around $US60 ($A80) per tonne. We dig it and deliver it to China at that price. (price includes delivery). We sell the coking coal to China for around $A140 tonne. It takes less than 1 x tonne of coking coal and 2 tonne of iron ore to make one tonne of steel. (pig iron). So the raw product costs $160 for the iron ore and $A140 for the coking coal. Total cost of raw product $A300.00 (three hundred dollars). We buy it back from China for around $A4,000 per tonne as steel products.
Why would a government allow this to happen? Free trade you might ask? Bullshit.
Why wouldn't a major iorn ore smelter and steel production operation be set up in mid North Australia on a port or deliver to say Townsville and have a smelter and refinery to manufacture steel and export it. China and Japan make 450 million tonnes of steel from our exports of iron and coking coal. At that rate they sell at current prices 1.8 Trillion per year of our raw products supplied to them.
AUTRALIAS TOTAL EXPORTS FOR ALL EXPORTS OF EVERYTHING IN 2016 was $A190 Billion. China and Japan have sold our iron ore alone for 10 times our whole Nations exports of everything we manufacture. Our total Exports from Australia $190B we sold our iron ore and coal to China and Japan and they sold it for $A1.8 Trillion. Smart nation us aussies. Smart government in Australia.
ELECTRICITY CHARGES IN AUSTRALIA
WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL AS I START TO CRY WRITING THE STORY.
We sell thermal coal from Australia to China and others for $US95 tonne to generator electricity.. So we supply them our coal so they can have cheap electricity. Coal burns and makes steam which turns the generators to make electricity. Because we sell them our coal to make cheap electricity by using coal fired power stations, we are shutting our coal fired power stations and paying for high cost renewable energy.
The cost for a KWh (one kilowatt of power per hour) in Australia is Sydney 25c per KWh, Brisbane 26c per KWh and Im told 30c in Mt Isa and out west of QLD. Mt Isa electricity in 2014 was 8c KWh, 3 years later under the knock kneed dumb arse premier of QLD now 30c per KWh
.
United States cost is 12c per KWh, Canada is 10c per KWh and China around the same.
Its cheaper in Australia to run a diesel generator which will cost around 20c per KWh.
We all live on one planet. How does int make sense for the Australia Government that we can sell Cheap Coal to the world to generate cheap electricity and pollute the atmosphere, but not Australia. The rest of the world is building coal fired and nuclear power stations and we are not. We are just selling them the uranium and coal. Whilst they are building them we are closing them.
The cost of electricity in 2018 will rise to around $0.40c per KWh. That means what you are paying now will double. It will just rise from there every year.
Oh one last thing. Our prime minister tells us he now has a free trade agreement with China. Oh yearh
An Australian cannot buy real estate of any description in China. No land , No houe , No apartment.
China charges 25% duty on Aussie Honey, 100% on our wine and 50% on just about everything else.
Australia puts no duties or taxes on imports from China and they can buy our farms, our houses our land or anything else they want.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WILL BITE YOU ON THE ARSE
Political Correctness. What does it mean? The Dictionary, basically says: "the avoidance of forms of expression that are perceived to exclude, marginalise or insult groups of people."
OK that's what it used to mean. Now let me tell you what it means: Political Correctness has been taken in its meaning a lot further than the dictionary describes and may have a more sinister and explosive consequences. The greatest and most descriptive and actions resulting from "political Correctness" may be played out in front of our eyes in the coming days or months.
Before I explain, let me remind you that the United States and its allies destroyed a middle eastern country Iraq because it "assumed" it had weapons of mass destruction. After multiple inspections by Global inspectors from Global authorities in Iraq, NO weapons resembling Weapons of Mass Destruction were found. Result: Invade, bomb, kill and destroy the fabric and future of Iraq.
NOW, we have North Korea openly displaying its nuclear arsenal and threatening to bomb and destroy Japan, Guam Island, home to 24,000 US troops and equipment, and their families. N.Korea is now firing rockets over Japan and recently exploded a Hydrogen Bomb (a thermal nuclear bomb) underground in its facility. This bomb is 10 times more powerful than the standard nuclear bomb dripped on Hiroshima Japan.
SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH POLITICAL CORRECTION YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELF.
The United States and its allies are more worried about political correctness than saving their own people and their own sovereignty. This statement sounds unbelievable, but it is absolutely true. Get one thing straight: Kim Jun Un is a madman, his goal is to go down in history as the guy that took on the world and won. Its not about life, its about death to him.
The world blows up Iraq and Libya because they may have been a threat. WHAT A JOKE. N. Korea is a threat that is real and now to the civil world and everyone is waiting for him to fire the rockets, before they act. "THIS IS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" I think that when N.Korea "lets go with its first big bomb" it will be a wave of bombs. It will be Japan, Guam, Australia, the US and as many of its territories that N.Korea's arsenal can reach. It will be a machine gun of rockets.
The White House cannot make a decision they know its right because they have people like CNN and other channels and newspapers will condemn him and his administration for not trying to solve the situation without a war. Fuck CNN and the rest of the hypocrites, Mr Trump you are fucked either way. The only difference is if you act first you will save a lot of destruction lives of innocent people.. The People of N. Korea have chosen to follow Kim Jun Un, they have to take the consequences. This is the way it is.
Kim Jun Un knows he cannot defeat the US and its allies, he is a madman but not dumb. He is going to go out with a bang and wants to be remembered by the world for eternity.
ITS JUST A QUESTION OF HOW MANY N.KOREA CAN FIRE BEFORE BEING TAKEN OUT.
THIS IS THE NEW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OF THE NEW POLITICIANS.
Don't get me started on the moron we have running Australia and Political correctness.
You only have to read some of my earlier blogs to work him out.
Political Correctness. What does it mean? The Dictionary, basically says: "the avoidance of forms of expression that are perceived to exclude, marginalise or insult groups of people."
OK that's what it used to mean. Now let me tell you what it means: Political Correctness has been taken in its meaning a lot further than the dictionary describes and may have a more sinister and explosive consequences. The greatest and most descriptive and actions resulting from "political Correctness" may be played out in front of our eyes in the coming days or months.
Before I explain, let me remind you that the United States and its allies destroyed a middle eastern country Iraq because it "assumed" it had weapons of mass destruction. After multiple inspections by Global inspectors from Global authorities in Iraq, NO weapons resembling Weapons of Mass Destruction were found. Result: Invade, bomb, kill and destroy the fabric and future of Iraq.
NOW, we have North Korea openly displaying its nuclear arsenal and threatening to bomb and destroy Japan, Guam Island, home to 24,000 US troops and equipment, and their families.

WHY HIGH ELECTRICITY PRICES IN AUSTRALIA AND WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE
BY CLOSING OUR COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS? I predict $1.00 Kwh by 2025.
The average power bill in an Australian family home at the current rate of power rating increases by 2025 will be $8,500 per month. Forget air conditioners and heaters, forget hot water systems, forget trying to charge your "electric car" they will be a luxury. You will be able to afford a little TV a couple of lights and a gas stove. Sound frightening?. You better believe it, its coming, like the sun will rise tomorrow.
I started out investigating, why, we have such high electricity prices to the extreme effect that running your own generator on diesel may be cheaper than buying off the state power grids. I will in this Blog do the numbers.
The Green party of Australia do not want to have Coal Fired Power Stations in Australia. We all know, Coal is the cheapest form of energy source to make electricity. (we use it to heat the water to make steam which drives the turbines to make electricity) The Greens have been forcing the closure of the power stations and the banning of mining coal in Australia through various means and media events and rallies from unsuspecting and dumb Australians who just want to have a rally without really knowing the consequences. Its not driven by common sense its all driven by politics and vacant minds with nothing else to do. After the rallies of closing coal fired power stations, their next rally will be "power and electricity prices too high" This is the way of the 21st century. The left hand not knowing or looking lon enough into the future to see what the right hand is going to do next.
Question: where does the smoke with the pollution go when coal burns? Answer: into the atmosphere.
Greens are happy to let the Chinese buy the Aussie Coal to make cheap electricity and send the smoke and pollution into the atmosphere. Maybe they dont realise China and Australia live on the same planet with the same atmosphere. If its OK for the Chinese to do it and make cheap electricity and put the smoke into the atmosphere then why cant we in Australia do the same thing. 90% of the dangerous pollutants in the smoke from burning the coal are taken out before being released into the atmosphere in Australia, but in China there are no restrictions or carbon, CO2 emissions, being sent into the atmosphere and no filters or technology to reduce the carbon effect in China. The Chinese are happy to live with the pollution instead of spending money to reduce the pollution.
So by sending Coal to China is OK for the greenies, so they can assist China polluting the planet and get cheap electricity whilst we in Australia just pay higher prices and approve of China using our Coal pollute the planet. Three (3) million people a year die from pollution in China every year. "World Health Organisations data". That's the same as the whole population of Queensland dying each year. The pollution comes from varying places, Coal only being a small contributor. Most comes form the millions of cars, tractors, machinery, metal and mineral smelting and steel works.
We have the greatest reserves of coal in the world apart from China. They want to burn our coal before using their own. Here are some facts;
China released into the Atmosphere between 2003 and 2013... 10 Billion metric tonnes of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
China released just in 2015 alone, 20,864 Million tonnes of Sulphur Dioxides into the atmosphere.
Deaths per 100,000 from Pollution in China is 76 persons per 100,000 persons per year.
The USA is 12 persons per 100,000 persons per year dying from air pollution.
Now the biggest polluter in the world, the Chinese have joined the Paris accord for Climate change for the reduction of Co2 and pollution emissions and all the world health organisations are clapping about the great event. (what a fucking joke).
The USA understands that with China emitting millions of tonnes per year of pollution into the atmosphere, They say "what the hell is the point of staying in the Paris accord". China is going to kill the world all by itself. Why would the Paris Accord, the "world police" on global pollution be clapping at the worlds greatest polluter joing their accord?. This is called politics.
By Australia selling China, the Australian coal and China, not using any technology, to reduce the pollution emissions, we have the Greens saying, "what a great deal it is to have us pay $0.58c per kilowatt hour for power in South Australia" whilst China pays 1/10th of that. Australian Coal, Coking Coal for the China smelters and our thermal coal to drive the hungry power stations. Its just a question of time before China uses the entire Coal reserves in Australia. When that happens, the cost of electricity in Australia will be 40% of the annual wage of wage earners in Australia. Whislt we will only have limited power, China will then switch to their own Coal which is not exported and continue the pollution. We in Australia wont even be able to afford the air conditioning or the filters to filter out the pollution. Are our political leaders SO DUMB.? The answer is YES.
What would you rather have? Australian technology that reduces the pollution at our Coal fired power stations and produces cheap electricity with little or no pollution for the next 200 years, OR sell it to China to pollute the world and supply them with cheap energy, Its only a matter of time before we run out of coal, if the current situation stays the same.
Dopey Malcolm Turnbull has finally worked out the Gas being sold overseas is leaving very little or none for the Aussie and "limpley" done next to nothing about it, so what about the Coal Malcolm?? The big move to wind energy wont work, we will have thousands of wind towers in Australia, but no one has worked out how often they have to be replaced. Every 4 years they have to be rebuilt. Who is going to rebuild them. Lucky to find an Aussie who will lift a spanner these days.
Have you ever watched Malcolm Turnbull walk lately. How now walks with his left hand in his pants pocket and walks like he has a swollen testicle on his right side. I wonder why?
Turnbull is going to be remembered like the former Queensland Premier Peter Beatty, the guy who did nothing the who time he was in politics. So far Malcolm has no legacy. Turnbull appears to be the "flake" we all thought he was. He is proving it now. Gay marriage appears to be more important than the well being of all Australians.
