So I wonder what *wonderful benefits* we'll recieve in exchange for dropping the pharmaceutical subsidy, allowing more variations of "Who want to marry an millionaire/Survivor/legal dramas" to pollute our airwaves and banning us from buying the special edition DVD/CD from the US or UK that is never going to be released in Australia?
we dont even get to sell much wheat to the us cause of all the subsidies the us government gives to its own farmers to make home-grown produce cheaper. my mom made the point that while new zealand continues the give the USA the finger (helen clark wont be bullied by no cowboy) they also export to the USA a whole lotta lamb and stuff like that. so we suck up to the us, but who is really winning?
obviously not australians.US=trade bullies, AUSTRALIA=poor negotiators
i cant believe we are letting john howard and george bush get away with that sort of stuff. i woul dbe very very angry but unfortunately i have a hangover headache. can i be angry tomorrow?
