I have not read all your posts.
I recall reading that post war one-third of the Australian economy was from manufacturing. Now it's around 5%. The balance has since been made up by mining, often coal. This was from the reforms of the time and gave us cheap goods. And it explains the impasse we are in, because they cannot really acknowledge the problem of climate change (and therefore energy policy) without going back on that.
