The Ord has been recognised as a disaster for the last 20 years or so. Geese
love rice and any other thing that grows & ya can't shoot the Bs. Leave the
tropics alone and bomb a few cities, drastic but effective.


Whether the Ord river system is a disaster or not remains to be seen.
The problem is how well is it managed and how many fingers are there in
the pie. This is usually the problem when things go wrong. Too many
cooks spoil the broth...

Too many critics when they dont get their way etc.
