    “With £61,000,000 available to spend and priority projects totaling £117,862,000 MLAs suggested the only way this would come close to working out was by not including the MPA Road and the port”.

    Looks like there are some tough choices to make......

    I hope that everyone gets a say in where the money is spent.

    £61m, is roughly £20,000 per inhabitant. Meanwhile Argie turds like Think have to live on 7 pesos a day! No wonder they are seething with envy..

    And, there are those lovely Typhoons, Nuclear Subs and those stealth Type 45 destroyers that can shoot down the whole Argie air force in 30 seconds. All provided courtesy of HM government - nice! And then there is the secret Penguin strike force...

    Infrastructure is the best way to ensure future prosperity!

    Having a coherent infrastructure plan that spans two decades is the hallmark of a competent and forward thinking government.

    After all the Argentinean rhetoric and attempts at economic sabotage, the FIG doesn't seem to be the least bit fazed.

    Seems the Falkland Islands in 20 years will be a radically different place.... indeed that is roughly when I think that the Islanders will become citizens of one of the world's newest (and smallest) sovereign nations.

    Meanwhile in the Socialist Paradise of Venezuela, Caracas residents are happy to have water every other day and the HIV patients are exited to learn that the pills they need daily aren't being allowed to be imported any longer. Free health care indeed.
    and Argentina is right behind them.

    @1 Might as well eradicate the rest of Cordoba while we're at it. People of uruguay could watch the pretty missiles flying overhead. And wonder if they are next. Although a sensible move would be to eradicate Rosario and Buenos Aires first. The procedure for replacing the conventional warhead on a cruise missile with a nuclear warhead is as follows: Remove aerodynamic sheath. Securing bolts have female threads. There are 12. For safety from nuclear radiation, operators should........... Can't publish the rest or I'd have to trek round and kill you all!

    Mind you, with the new policy of counting words in “comments” by anti-British, anti-free Falklands criminals as a guide to the number of 1500lb bombs to be dropped on argieland, keep on rabbiting. The process is cumulative. The current guide figure is around 30 million. Keep it up and there could be a bomb each for everyone. Nuclear cruise missiles are a “special extra”. Launches take some time because of health and safety rules. Still, 30 missiles in 30 minutes isn't bad. Information for argieland. Ducking doesn't help. Your shadow burned into the nearest wall looks odd.

    “I hope that everyone gets a say in where the money is spent.”

    So do I.

    Its good that public opinion is involved.

    It is a sad irony that HMG rightly supports the Islanders rights to democracy, yet it could learn a lot from how FIG do things and how they engage their electorate.

    Certainly if Argentina were to get the Islands again (it will only happen through illegal invasion-and that is as likely as Argentina looking after their people as well as FIG looks after theirs), the ordinary voters would have no say in how the Islands resources were spent or -what the priorities for improving the Falklands would be.

    And let's not forget, if the Argentines owned the Islands -no offshore drilling would take place (they wouldn't have the expertise to do it) and the Islands would be bankrupt within a week.

    But at least Falkland flagged vessels would be welcome everywhere if they were Argentine-as they would be impounded by Paul Singer.

    No.

    60 MM pounds is like over 110 MM US dollars. You can sow a lot of land with that ammount of money in Argentina.

    Last year it was about $300 USD/hectar to sow soybean.

    With that ammount of money you can do up to 366.666. 6 ha of soy
    You will need to cover far but far more Pampean surface for that investment than the surroundings of a simple town of 3000 ppl.

    U$S 340 .
    + renting a combine harvester + freight + all the national, provincial and municipal taxes.

    so, according to you producing 1 ha costs u$s 300, final price.
    now, the average yield per hectare is 2.5 ton.
    that would be u$s 120 per ton.
    and the price in rosario is u$s 250 per ton.

And Im using the cost of implantation as a “investment” per se ( which it is not of course) but you started mentioning that any village or town in Mid Argentina that gets that ammount by soybean trustees funds.

    Its bollucks anyway. 365.666.6 ha Is like x 3 times the size of the Partido de Arrecifes which the city alone has 27.000' ppl

    You have already lost your argument when you went into mixing up public infrastructure proyects with private investments.

    If you want to compare private investments of the islands, Mercopress said in a articles some month ago that each well cost 50 million in one basin and in another one 100 million USD.

    “Is 61 million pounds per 3000 ppl high even for Australian standards??”

    Sorry for the delay in this reply. However I wanted to wait for our national budget to be presented.

    Is £61 million high? That's a per capita rate of £20,333. But it is also over 5 years. Which equates to about £4,000 per person per year.

    That is A$7,200.

    Our government has just announce A$50 billion in transport infrastructure over the next 7 years. Along with the states this will add up to about A$126 billion and I think 10 years is probably a better timeline (2010-20). That's about A$547 per person per year.

    So nowhere near the FIG figure. However that is JUST roads and some interstate rail infrastructure.

    Last week my state government has planned about A$11 billion on a new rail line over 10 years and A$2.8 billion for schools over the next 5. So what does this mean? About A$286 per person per year.

    So that only comes to about A$830. Still along way below A$7,200. But then there things like the NBN which is about A$40 billion which is equal to about A$1,700 per person; again spread out.

    So while the amounts in the Falkland Islands are indeed high, they are pretty normal for a nation building phase; which is what this is. There is so much austerity is the news that it is easy to forget that not everyone is having economic problems in the west.

    If I tried to include all the infrastructure around Australia then the figure would get a lot closer to the FIG figure. But probably would not match it.

    However Australia already has an amazing stock of existing infrastructure so we do not have such a large deficit to fill. We are also 22 years into an economic growth spurt so we're not preparing for an impending boom, but actually winding down from one.

    Thanks for the very informative reply.

    That being said the FI costs of building and infrastructure proyects seem to be out of this world too.

    Some of that must be related to the Argentine blockade and other is the small population and isolation of the place.

    GDP per capita in the islands is in the 9 th place in the world, but then you go to the CIA factbook and there is about 5300 workers (2006) that most must be foreign so they wouldn't account in the GDP per head.

    I posted a article in spanish about how the oil funds in Norway which has the same GDP per capita, drove costs and labour over the roof and everything is insanly expensive.
    I guess the point is that when everybody is relatevely wealthier than in the rest of the world economy it becomes very difficult to keep competetive.

    @ 50

    That is not an issue since 20 years ago. No till farming has prevented the Pampas of becoming a Sahara desert. It was common that we had terrible dust storms in the 1980s because of the continuos removal of the soil. There is however a serious process of acidification in the top 20 cm layer , i.e we are not re fertilizing enough at the rate to replace the minerals are being extracted. And that is mostly due that farmers have being pushed to do mono crop and they have to cut costs. You end up eating away your capital in reality buy doing so. Sodification and salinization is considerable too.

    Desertification however is a reality in extra-pampean regions.

    ----------------------------------------

    Swiss are at the heart of Europe. Its a completaly different reality when you can order construction materials from Germany, Italy, France or Austria and you have a handfull of flexible labour at all times.

    I think you should compare yourselves more with similar coutries like Iceland or some island that is in the North Sea in those regards.

    It depends really of the soil texture of wherever you are. Most of the Pampas soil is pretty well balanced in mineral sizes.

    As for Cedrons project;
    The cost of renting land out for production has decreased in the last year because the sowing pools are not as profitable as they used to be. So there is less of them. Not so long ago, It was better business to rent land and do agriculture as having your own farm and face up to many fixed costs. The trend seems to be reverting.

    Paulie darling!

    One day the Daily Mail is a relevant news source that can be used by You, to attack the British, and I quote paulcedron here, “ the second most 'important' newspaper in the UK”. (Not true, obviously! Perhaps one of the biggest by circulation but even its' own readers wouldn't consider the most 'important'. fnarr!)
    On the other hand, it's 'crap' like 'all the UK Press'. That's also a quote from you!
    Twat.
    (that it is crap, I agree with you)

    This is what paulcedron has to say.

    Is there anything we can trust in his opinions? He doesn't even trust his own sources.

    I can provide evidence of this.

    If you so please. Bit busy at the moment as I have a family and business interests to care for, but will provide links to prove this boy is a fool if you wish.

    Time to go home paulie. This forum is not for you, only educated adults are welcome.

    Bye!!!!

    FIG.....spend some of the money replacing Gilbert House, I've seen better Scout Huts....
    Crooked fence “tin” roof and Wheelie bins sat outside..a dirt car park and the rough grass trying to reclaim it, isn't the best place to entertain visiting dignitaries or photo shoots...
    Time to upgrade especially with a full time Legislative Assembly....

    He's thinking of coming down to buy a property to add to his mansion in Scotland and the “cabin” in Trout Run.

    I bet you can't wait. :o)

    PS. I still think he is a puppet of The Lunatic of Chew Butt: blue eyes and “blonde” hair. You never know!

    I pay taxes in Britain, if that is what you are alluding to, and I am perfectly happy with things as they are now in terms of the Falklands.

    Piss off to America if you can, and we know you cannot, if you don’t like it.

    Simples!

    @59 A_Voice,
    So because your taxes pay for our defence, you think that you have the right to upgrade our Public buildings?
    Why thank you, Voicey, go right ahead. Don't let me stop you.
    While you're in the mood, if you've got a few spare Roubles, l'd like an extra bedroom on my house. Thank you soooo much.
    You've got a woman's logic my dear Voicey(which is no bad thing, l might add).
    Or a malvinista's(which is just plain ridiculous).
    Actually the money spent on our defence would be spent anyway, Voicey & the UK gets a great training land.
    l think that its win-win all round,would ye no say, McVoice?
    Except, of course, poor Argentina! lol!
    We are stopping the Argentine Empire from expanding at its neighbour's expense.
    Hope the others are grateful!

    You talking to me or chewing a brick...? Coz either way you're gonna lose teeth....
    61
    ..a simple thank you would have sufficed.....
    BTW.. it was a simple suggestion that makes a lot of sense...it does look like a Scout Hut and needs an upgrade....unless of course you want to keep the “Benny” image...

    I agree that Mr Refugee McVoice should just be grateful that he has a (slighty damp) home in Scotland and should just put up. or shut up.

    Shureley he should be more grateful to dear Old Blighty when he would have been imprisoned/tortured at home?

    Over-entitled prig!

    I hope the Falklanders enjoy this money and all the massive oil money to come.

    (Hi little Monsters! Stop reading over your Mum's shoulder and Get To Bed Now or I will be sending a troop of Stealth Penguins to sort you out!)

    McVitie
    Put up with living in the UK with all the good and bad that it entails or shut up and piss off somewhere else you grasping git!

    You should be grateful to live in Scotland rather than hating England. It is all the UK, it is one.
    Why the hatred for the Falkanders? Is this something to keep the pace-maker going?

    You say you are paying tax in Scotland, I pay mine in England. We both live in the UK. So you attack yourself?
    Hmmmm......

    PS: did you get the 'leccy back on?

    “You talking to me or chewing a brick...? Coz either way you're gonna lose teeth”

    As impotent a statement as your mate Galteiri =“We will fight to the last drop of blood.”

    “Er on second thoughts we'd better surrender in case all our airfields get F***** by Vulcans.”

    You couldn't punch your way out of a wet paper bag sonny.

    Argentina, where they are used to hide Timerman so the kids don't get scared. Ask him for one, then you could practise punching your way out of it.
