more money for mining mates

wannabe lithium miners have their hands out, demanding government -- our -- cash.

oh dear, they say, give us money or we will go away.

no one wants their lithium.

why should government support a failing industry.

(yes, okay, we all know -- government support is in exchange for future board positions and other bribes.

let's, for now, pretend ignorance and look at the recent past.

the state Labor govt gave a billion to a lithium miner.

in exchange, the miner dug giant holes and employed a few hundred apprentices.

then the miner closed up shop.

sacked every apprentice.

left the state.

left the giant holes.

probably took away their... our... billion dollars.

certainly no intention of returning it.

thegoverment gives money to its rich mining mates.

with zero -- or negative -- return.

are politicians idiots?

i go with the more obvious explanation:

politicians are criminals who are quite happy to accept bribes.
