Is this thing going to stick? What is the word from the average Joe in Australia. They for it and going to re-elect this f-er who pulled the mini-Chavez?

He also pretty much just kicked China, full on in the nads, knowing that they are the ones buying up the resources there. If anyone has recently noticed; the Chinese are not taking a boot to the nuts quite like they used to; and actually have the economic might to exact future revenge for these types of brazen infringements.

I'm into two large mining projects in Australia at rock-bottom share prices; but this thing put a huge overhang on the mining sector there. Thinking of doubling down on the thought that there is no f-ing way any sane government; or electorate; will follow through, or allow the "gummint" to follow through on this.

Do I have to wait 2 years til they realize (like a similarly dumb f*** in Alberta recently did) that having the highest tax rate of any mining jurisdiction in the world will; after your grubby first grab for the goodies; sink your economy like a f-ing stone? Or is this just another shrimp on the f-ing barbie, mates?
