I can see how this sudden announcement would be gauling if you were relying
on that resource.


First they take the opportunity to stop building dams, then as it

Sorry I am not familiar with QLD dam building policy. What opportunity is
this? What dams is the QLD government not building?

water become artificially scarce, becuase now you havent got any
water, they start charging for it, when it used to be free.

Water is not an infinite resource. The only way to get a sensible water
policy and cost effective water use is if it has a reasonable value. If it
seems "free" to some people (nothing is ever really free) it is overused
and used on things because the opportunity is there not because there is a
good business case for doing it that way.

Any one want to stop breathing, as youre consuming my oxygen and
breathing out CO2.
Oh yes wasn't that part of the Carbon tax they were going to put on
us all?

Are you voicing an objection to two policies here or is there a connection
between water policy and carbon tax?
