地質科學專業人才是否充足，是澳洲的礦業與能源產業能否發揮經濟效益的關鍵因素。

澳大利亞有「幸運國度」（Lucky Country）之稱，這絕非空洞口號，而是事實。國土面積774萬平方公里、總人口約2,100萬的澳洲，是地球上少數幾個地廣人稀、物產豐隆足以維持西方國家生活品質的地方之一。

礦業是牽動澳洲經濟成長的重要產業。礦業、能源等「自然資源部門」的外銷收入，就佔了全澳洲出口收入的40％。澳洲農業暨資源經濟局（ABARE）統計，2005、2006年之間，澳洲礦物與能源的出口所得，超過900億澳元（約台幣2兆6000億元）。

這 個局面能維持多久？澳洲官方研究機構「澳洲地質科學」（Geoscience Australia）執行長威廉斯（Neil Williams）說，澳洲礦業的長遠發展，要靠「有效的探勘採掘」，而礦產探勘行動需要先進的地質科學知識與整合研究，才能壓低尋找礦藏目標時的風險。

我在一個鄉下小吃攤聽到一個父親在和小孩的聊天他小孩剛要進入國內的電子公司,父親談到台灣為何會這十年來
經計和所得很難增加的理由,其實原因很簡單台灣的缺乏充份研發和創意的缺乏研發,企業只要代工成本升高馬上就遷廠到中國或其它新興國家,越南等新興國家不斷興起,台灣若無特色創意在未來世界必被其它國家取代
       後來它又聊到鎖國的問題,我認為也很中肯,台灣其實很少鎖國,但過去李登輝時代失去與中國談判時機,目前即使陸客來台對一般普羅台灣中產階級根本影響不大,對於大財團助益則更大,台灣的薪資根本不可能增加多少,他勉勵小孩要多學習要在語言與思考上多與國濟接軌,否則未來日子還是一樣難過
我本以為鄉下人的觀念比不上都市,哈在台北每天在街上聽到就是在罵阿扁,罵老板,忘記台灣和自己的前途其實是自己要創造,台灣若只靠代工加工來謀生,那和越南等國家無異,況且台灣天然資源缺乏在未來通賬日子會更嚴重

Mining giant bid ignites concerns By Katie Hunt Business Reporter, BBC News The two firms control a third of the world's iron ore supplies The world's biggest miner wants to be even bigger. Not content with annual revenue equal to the size of Vietnam's economy, Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP Billiton has formalised a bid to buy close rival Rio Tinto. The $147bn (£74.8bn) offer sets the stage for the world's second-largest takeover. The bold move is raising hackles among the many countries that depend on the raw materials the mining firms provide, especially China. Together, the two companies would control a third of world's supply of iron ore, the chief raw material for steel, and around 10% of copper and aluminium supplies. It would also dominate the production of uranium, which fuels nuclear power plants. "Having control over a greater percentage of the worldwide supply of iron ore, and other commodities, gives them a much stronger negotiating position," says Charles Kernot, metals and mining analyst at Seymour Pierce. Chinese unease China potentially has the most to lose should the proposed merger go through. The two firms supply about 40% of China's iron ore imports and are believed to be aiming at a 70% price hike this year. BHP Boss Marius Kloppers has made a bold move China's white-hot economic growth has created an insatiable demand for steel to help power its manufacturing juggernaut. In the early years of its rush to industrialise, the country's domestic mining kept pace with demand. But since 2000, China has been forced to buy from overseas, with iron ore imports totalling 383 million tonnes last year - a 17.4% rise. Iron ore prices have almost tripled over the past decade from around $38 to $110 a tonne. Most of China's iron ore imports come from the deposits mined by Rio and BHP in the rusty coloured earth of Australia's outback - dubbed the world's quarry. Spoiling tactics Given its huge appetite for raw materials, some have viewed China's decision to spend $14bn on a 9% stake in Rio Tinto, the country's biggest overseas investment, just days before a deadline requiring BHP to submit a formal bid as a blocking tactic. China fears that a merger of Rio and BHP could put a stranglehold on iron ore supplies. Rio and BHP supply 40% of China's iron ore imports The state-run Aluminium Corp of China, or Chinalco, teamed up with US firm Alcoa to buy the stake in Rio's London listed shares. John Meyer, head of commodities at Fairfax Investment Bank, says every $10 per tonne increase in iron ore prices means China has to pay an extra $4bn to Rio and BHP. "You can see why they might want to throw one or two billion dollars to stop this deal going through," he told BBC News. There is speculation that China might now launch its own bid to take control of Rio Tinto but analysts say this could be a step too far given unease, especially in Australia, about foreign ownership of strategic assets. More likely, they say, is that China wants a seat at the table and has its sights on some of Rio's supplies of bauxite and alumina - the main products of Chinalco. "It's difficult to know whether China's bid is politically motivated or whether Chinalco, with Alcoa, are after some aluminium assets," says Mr Kernot. Competition fears China is by no means alone in fearing a merger of Rio and BHP. Regulators in South Africa, Canada, the US, the European Union and steelmakers in Japan have all expressed reservations. "This is going to be a very long process. The EU investigation is likely to be most detailed," Mr Kernot says. But before regulators can pore over the details, Rio's shareholders must accept the proposed takeover and this is no sure-fire deal. On Wednesday, Rio Tinto's board rejected the proposal saying it did not reflect the value of the firm but it left the door open to a higher offer. BHP had sweetened its original informal approach, offering 3.4 of its shares for every Rio Tinto share - better than the previous three-for-one proposal. This values Rio Tinto at around £54, still short of the £60 per share China was prepared to shell out. Chinalco and Alcoa said they were "monitoring developments". No matter what the next move in the saga, who controls the raw materials that form the backbone of the world economy will continue to be a source of concern.

The rise comes as other major central banks are cutting interest rates to ease an economic downturn.

Australia's resource-rich economy has continued to expand due to a sustained rally in commodity prices.

Chinese demand for raw materials has allowed Australia to lessen its reliance on the United States, which is on the brink of a recession.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised the cost of borrowing 11 times since 2002.
