Dirt & Miners

Dirt, soil, land, minerals, real estate, property.

Australia was colonized because of its dirt!

Dirt generates wealth - whether it be by digging it up, growing things on it, chopping things down, building things on it, playing sport on it, or killing for it.

It is the basis of our whole economy and always has been.

Once upon a time Aboriginal people owned it all. In some places they still have an active voice in how it is used.

Now, in general, the Australian community owns it -for the benefit of all.

It seems criminal that individuals can make huge amounts of dollars out of a community asset, then squeal at the thought of any change to the rules.

Miners please note that the Australian community owns these non-renewable resources and are entitled to insist on a fair return.
