Farming and industry are an integral mainstay of a self sufficient country. Depending on foreign countries for the basics of life is foolish, and treacherous to your own country. It is absurd to give work and wealth to companies and people in another country, while your own people go onto welfare, and business in your own country closes its doors.

It is treacherous to actually implement international agreements that ensure that this happens, it is disgraceful to arrange for this to happen without a word of explanation or apology to the people of Australia, yet this subject has not been mentioned to the people by either Gough Whitlam who initiated it, Malcom Fraser who nurtured it, John Howard who prepared the inquiry, nor Bob Hawke or Paul Keating who implemented the final stage.

By repealing the infamous Lima Declaration and the NIEO, Australia's economic slide could be reversed.
