"The free traders are losing Congress because they have lost the country. Every community," he says, "has now seen factories shut and jobs shifted overseas. A revolution," he said, "is brewing in the United Sates over the government's betrayal of working Americans."
Well, our Federal Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, has summoned car and parts makers, unions and State Ministers, to Melbourne tomorrow to discuss the threat to thousands of jobs from low wage countries such as China.
Where is the free trade now?
Are we waking up to the revolution?
The car industry has lost more than a thousand jobs in recent months.
Americans are revolting against being swamped by foreign goods and foreign money.
I don't think Australia is going to be too far behind. From 2GB Sydney

The church was in full voice when Barnaby walked through the door . How can any good thing come from northern Queensland?
Time to have a good look at the facts Boys ---those who chant business and flat earth economists to make themselves feel comfortable .
What would a country person know???
The truth , from experience, about complex risk and long term investment matters perhaps ?
The chanters are, under the noisy surface , worried about what works in the bush. Its obviously too complex a risk environment for them and their advisers . After all it wasn't just telephones that went down in the cold snap ! and shareholders know lots --or is it just that they have a lot of influence and goodwill ?
The ISSUE this week was simple ---Just the price of Telstra.
And Barnaby won over the carping
Both sides of politics once knew the tragedy of those who know the price of everything but can't discern the value of anything
