Anybody want to buy some beer?



Thinking about barley got me thinking about beer! South Australia has the largest family-owned beer company in Australia (it is privately listed so state-backed PRC companies cannot buy it out).

Here is a story from 2017 about Coopers: https://indaily.com.au/podcasts/2017/01/12/selling-coopers-to-the-world-never-give-up-on-your-family-values/


Happy to hear from anyone around the world who drinks Coopers! (which, unlike Communist China's beer, is made from Australian barley)

Anybody want to buy some barley?



2020-21 might result in a slight drop off!


This is the story of our good friend Communist China's treatment of Australia: https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/australia-prepares-to-take-china-to-the-world-trade-organisation-20200519-p54uac.html

I wrote this maybe 5 or 6 weeks ago and it was published at Quadrant Online. It later made it into the May 2012 edition of Quadrant magazine. And now it is back at Quadrant Online. Fabulosity! I might be a little biased, but I think it still holds up: https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2020/05/emperor-xi-has-no-clothes/
