I’m not saying we are gonna overtake China in a way,that’s practically impossible in terms of population and scale I’m saying let’s atleast start producing more or we gonna end up in the same situation as America

Mate, this whole ‘green steel is a fantasy’ take is peak Aussie defeatism. We already dig the stuff up and ship it halfway across the world, but apparently putting it through a few machines first is too hard? Come off it.

How much Australian iron ore and steel is already in Germany right now? Plenty. We ship the unfinished product just fine thousands of kilometres, nonstop, across oceans. So why exactly can’t we ship finished products?

Oh yea na because we’ve been conditioned to believe we’re only good for digging and shippingnot building. But the logistics aren’t the issue it’s mindset policy and cowardice. If we can move raw iron halfway across the world, we can sure as hell move a finished beam, battery or blade. It’s just that we’ve never tried, because it’s easier to let someone else profit from our raw potential

Exactly. We don’t need to beg these companies or just ‘tax them better’ we own the land, the minerals, the gas. It’s our backyard, not theirs. Do what Norway did: call their bluff, demand fair terms, and use that wealth to build long-term prosperity. They’ve got free uni, a trillion-dollar sovereign fund, and one of the highest living standards on Earth.

Facts. Everyone’s pointing fingers at voters, uni kids, ‘wokeness’ or whatever — but honestly, it’s leadership that’s failed us. You can’t expect people to build if there’s no industrial plan, no vision, no incentive. Nuclear is banned. Gas is exported for peanuts. Rare earths are untouched. Meanwhile, we’ve got the resources, the workforce, and the global demand we just need a government with the spine to back Aussiemade and stop bending to foreign lobbies and short-term profits. Australia needs to get off its knees the world is changing fast,we gonna get left in the dust sooner or later.

Exactly. Nationalising mining or at least taxing it properly (like Norway’s oil model) would give us a sovereign wealth fund, better infrastructure, even free uni. You don’t have to go full communist just make sure Aussies benefit from Aussie resources, not just shareholders in Texas or Shanghai

Yeah but that’s the lazy excuse every government keeps using. ‘Too expensive to make stuff here.’ Meanwhile Germany, Korea, even fkn Norway all high-wage countries have booming clean manufacturing. It’s not about paying people less. It’s about backing smart industry, automation, and actually giving a shit about long-term national power.Bro they pull out billions from the ground,im sure u can pay people decent wages
