Australia has made a foolish mistake in allowing its manufacturing basis to decline, to pursue illusory service economy pursuits, such as accommodating masses of migrants, the Great White Replacement and international students. This was seen during the Covid lockdowns, where the economy was harmed when the sources of so-called wealth were closed off. Some universities, totally dependent upon largely Chinese students, had to close down buildings for periods in cost saving. No half decent nation should allow itself to be at the mercy of globalism like this.
Australia’s manufacturing value added as a proportion of GDP has fallen from 14 percent in 1990 to 5 percent in 2022. Australia, with its vast energy resources should be a manufacturing giant, but a combination of commitment to globalist free trade, and woke Green energy ideologies, has destroyed this. Thus, when war comes, and the rug is pulled out from under our feet, the nation will fall flat on its face.
