| Reverse lettering | UTAH ........ THE RAPIST OF AUSTRALIA UTAH — plunders Australia of its natural resources. UTAH — is the greatest profit maker in Australia's history. UTAH — exports nearly all of its profit to the U.S.A. UTAH — received an annual tax concession of $24,000,000 in the 1976 budget. UTAH — received a further $16,000,000 annually in the 1977 budget. UTAH — exports this yearly gift of $40,000,000 (from the pocket of the Australian taxpayer) direct to the U.S.A. UTAH — uses an ex-Australian actor who knows not what he says to publicise Utah's phony Australian image. UTAH — employs cheap labour foreign seamen in tax-dodging 'flag-of-convenience' vessels. UTAH — will not employ Australian seamen in their vessels despite the fact that their tax handout would more than foot the bill. Employing Australian seamen would at least keep a small portion of the super profits in Australia, assist in rectifying to a small degree the calamitous state of the economy and create more jobs for the Australian worker. UTAH — crowns all other insults by claiming damages from the Seamen's Union of Australia for daring to seek work for Australian seamen. |
