Made in Australia

 

Take heart! We're still making things in this country; not cars, not computers, but watering cans! What we're going to fill them with, given the deplorable state of our Murray-Darling Basin Plan, remains to be seen but such minor detail is well beyond our self-serving politicians' three-year election cycle.

In the meantime, and not here but in America, they're already building robotic hamburger-flippers which will eventually deprive several gener-ations of young Australians of any job prospects unless they stop playing truant and start appreciating the great privilege of a free education.

But, hey, there's always Centrelink! We're such a lucky country!
