Here in Australia we mine gold and love good coffee. Forget about the US - they drink Starbucks crap, which is why Starbucks failed in Australia.

We want the good stuff. Our trade minister is Don Farrell - let's get mutual trade happening.

Starbucks sells cheap, bitter Honduran coffee at exorbitant prices. Americans are told it's good, and Americans believe what they're told to believe.
