Then charge you for rain water when they claim the runoff would be
theirs if they hadnt built dams.

Walking hand in hand

We watch Landline and we had a good laugh about little Johnny and
"drought proofing"

If something like Cubbie station which sucks an enormous amount of water
out of local rivers is having trouble now, how in heck is the ordinary
farmer supposed to "drought proof" his farm.[1]

The wentworth group guys might be spot on; the 1950-1990s were the wet
years and now it is back to normal rainfall.

[1] the only way seems to be to explode an underground nuke to great a
big underground cavern, line with bottom half with water proofing and
fill with water (from where?), but you still have to pump the blighter
back to the surface.
