    Oddly enough, this is pretty much the way many Aussie exporters (especially of meat and grain) feel about the US, I understand; many goods are either locked out or subject to absurd tariffs. Meanwhile, we hear preachments about the global economy from these alleged freemarketers.

    Damien, the problem is Aussies are running headlong into the interests of a group of characters known as TEXANS! This nefarious race when encountering any possible threat to their cattle industry can get very ornery. Go ask Oprah Winfrey if you don't believe me. I just hope Max and Natasha can appreciate a good steak!

    best wishes,

    John

    P.S. But didn't you have the temerity to actually MARRY one of their women??
