So yet another Aussie company is sucked up by the yanks, a few months ago the company I work for was bought out by them and I have heard the yanks are keen on buying up as much as they can as their own economy is going down the gurglar. But look on the brightside Mr.How.Long and his cronies aren't buying everything in sight BUT they might be and we are just being kept like mushrooms. It really is a shame Oz is going to the dogs and who can remember the last TV commercial where they were saying ' Oz was the good country'.... My bet is atleast a decade......
