A short education about what matters in Australia, for those who don't live here

* me

* my money

* my house must keep going up in value

* selling mineral resources to other countries

* selling energy resources to other countries

* selling residential real estate to other countries

* selling agricultural land and farms to other countries

* other stuff

Things that matter, but not much, or not at all:

* environment

* other people's financial position

* Australian sovereignty (huh... what's that mean?)

* the countries around us

* Our defence

Things that governments really don't think are serious at all, but they will pretend to think they are important:

* Technology

* Broadband

* Startups

* Entrepreneurship
