According to nationmaster.com, Australia is ranked last in the world in terms of Asparagus and Cow Pea exports to the USA as well as rice production per capita. This my friends is a travesty. So as you ponder the coming Federal Election, be sure to contact your local member and ask what he/she is doing for the downtrodden Asparagus and Cow Pea farmers, and why the much vaunted Free Trade Agreements with the USA have not addressed this appalling ranking.
The fact that we have no asparagus and cow pea industries to speak of should be ignored entirely, what if there were a Cow Pea and or asparagus famine (think Irish potato famine here), how would all the yuppie asparagus eater and dread locked haired Byron Bay Commune living hippie survive. You have to choose your battles people, and I have chosen this one. Whose with me?
