Lost the plot 2

And now the very, very noisy minority want to starve us and many of our inland towns and cities to death.

While there is something to be said for having environmental flows in our inland rivers, what has been suggested by the Murray-Darling inquiry is both ridiculous and outrageous.

Some of these people need to get out of their offices in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide and go and have a look at inland NSW and Victoria. They could start with the Upper Lachlan area. While there has been some rain to alleviate the drought, Wyangala Dam is at about 35%. Why? Because it needs some major work on the spillway, but no one had enough brains to do it while the dam was empty. Typical of the NSW State Government! Another area of neglect has been the Menindee Lakes

We should have enough water in this country to be more than adequate, out problem is now two-fold:
  1. The Labor Party has sold it's soul to the Greens;
  2. No one has enough foresight to do what needs to be done in terms of infrastructure.

Lost the plot 1

It would seem that the Gillard led Labor Government have lost the plot. They have sold their souls, and sold out most of their supporters, just to appease a very, very noisy minority (the Greens and the so called Independents).

They want to take us back 100 years. They have finally worked out a way to tax us for breathing, breathing out in this case, by taxing carbon. It is nothing short of a rort, but the hairy arm-pitted, dangly earring mob are getting their way. They will be happy when we are lighting up our computer screens by candle.
