I suppose ( if you were a sovereign nation )
you may have suffered a "takeover" before you got rich,
and we would be speaking with someone else
Maybe if they sold "us" LNG at the same rates you sell it to the Japanese and Chinese, our energy would be cheaper???

Very much tongue in cheek Andrew, just pointing out how far the stats really are from the truth and the recent statements made by big red i.e we should all share in this great minning boom etc etc. For those West Australians not involved directly with minning life sucks. Prices here are sky high based on the assumption we are all earning 350K per year. Building, manufacturing, retail etc are all screwed but we do have the fastest growing economy in the world. Now it is a fedral agenda to let you all share in our pain. Wonder what would happen if China stopped buying?
