I strongly recommend that everyone interested in the current state of Australia and its place in the world watch the full #Insiders interview. Hastie is just about spot on across the board. It is clear he understands the problems, and cares about us enough to want to solve them. Really solve them. I have grabbed a particularly interesting clip, where the ABC public servant David Speers tries to sell Chinese made batteries as some kind of ‘gotcha’, but Hastie just nails him. Batteries made in China will never fix our energy problems. Drilling, mining and using our resources here will. Rebuilding our infrastructure here will. And fixing the diabolical 1970's style industrial relations system will. We just have to get off our arses and get out of our own way before it's too late. Go Hastie. Get 'em. I just want Australia back.
