Glad to hear about the extra money coming down the pipe for help to small business for research and exports...this is real socialism in action, eh Henry?

Why do australian businessmen not want any government involvement in labour issues but want mucho government involvement in funding research and exports?

The Head of HR cries 'get outta my way!' but the Head of R&D cries 'come on down, with your check book and regulations"!

What exactly is 'FREE enterprise'?

Can you explain this, Henry?
