The Australian article Form an orderly line here for your rent-free cardboard box although from a column called The Wry Side, is also a means of desseminating the authors bigotry.

In housing-poor Australia, flogging the house wouldn't be a problem for the bank, not with new immigrants driving up our housing prices.

It's them immigrants that done it.
And what exactly is the author implying in the following...?

As the Americans line up to leave the US, the Saudis will say: "There's no need to take the little ladies with you." Then they will pause and say: "Better leave the little boys and the pets as well."

It's this kind of crap supposedly dressed up as "humour" that is not really very helpful.

We must all get behind Pickens's plan, get off the oil teat, send the US instead of China our natural gas and for God's sake look after their women for them.

[sarcasm]
Why?
Our new imperial overlords can pay us for our resources with a currency and goods that appear to have actual value...
Isn't that the way "the market" is supposed to work?

We didnt even get The Aquaduct from the last lot...

It's interesting that Peak Oil appeared in The Australian, and maybe this article is a foretaste of the direction they are going to take it. Unlike Climate Change, which according to most of their senior "writers" ,isn't happening, Peak Oil is going to be spun along racist nationalistic lines.
