Serious problem for our export industry but who cares here when you can buy things so cheap overseas.

Will let the mining industry in WA run the country.

I'll sit on my list of items a bit longer - the only way is up for several months yet, I believe.

I'm patiently waiting for the dollar to hit 1 for 1 with the US which some economists late last year were predicting could happen. But I'll settle for $0.98.

Comon baby, keep going up!
