Water restrictions and gardens

They are also capable of making other crazy laws so people get ripped of and use their position to throw farmers of the land and buy up properties really cheaply when a drought hits. Then charge you for rain water when they claim the runoff would be theirs if they hadnt built dams. Your Government and Corporations. Walking hand in hand to screw the land... 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. |

I was amazed at how much water Cubbie had when the Tinnie show was on but bone dry in the latest news item. I can't believe that Cubbie trys to store water in what is in effect massive evaporation ponds and then trys to justify such irresponsible action in such flat country. Simply beggars belief. |

It beggars belief that the pollies allowed it. Goes to show what the power of a political donation can do. I was all set to talk the wife into moving to Qld (her home state) but Beattie is turning out as bad as Joh ever was. |

because the opposition where donkies and asses (and one of those
parties even put one of the asses back into the drivers sdeet although none of them appeared impressed by his dismal performance), and the 18 year old vote because they think putting a tick on paper is a fun game and they don't know shite from clay. so he has his mandate (lesson learnt from the bespectacled gnome in can'tberra), to now feed class 2 recycled sewerage into our fresh water dams. and it won't matter what state all premiers will be tarred with the same brush or they wouldn't be there. oh and beattie is the cheshire cat. so what are the alternatives? when apart from a few the voting public is apparently mindless.

yep all about profits and control, the boys do think that they own 90%
of what falls from the clouds. and they will be charging those who collect rainwater for selling in bottle, that one was on the abc years ago so all this is nothing just out of the hat it has been in the pipeline for at least a decade. the losers the little people, the winners the multi-nationals and those boys. bets are they or theirs will never have this sewerage stuff pass their lips.

Len, what is wrong with recycled sewerage water being used as drinking water? we have done it here for year. Treated sewerage and industrial water is pumped back in to the rivers and taken down stream as drinking water. Given that the daily flows of water dilute the sewered water, however the process of drinking stuff that has been round once (or several times) isn't that horrific. rob |

you can have it rob,
obviously the chemical residues in the stuff along with possible viruses is of no concern. then i suppose if it is going into a river that gets flushed maybe no worries. ours is going into our dams no flushing there just years of accumulated pollutants. to me it seems like an indictment that in this modern world any community should have to drink recycled sewerage water. anyhow so long as the drinkers eyes are wide open. for me i just don't have that sort of blind faith in the administrator especially at the end of the day when it is all about profits and control.
