A person's sexual preferences or practices are no grounds for evaluating their political performance or anything else about them unless you have an interest in how such characteristics might relate directly and personally to you and your preferences. I cannot think of any forum where gratuitous sexual slurs about public figures, or anybody, are appropriate. David |

I think you will find that that is a major part of the water problem in NSW. The allocated water was not being fully utilised in NSW, so the NSW government sold it as high security water(first call) to people taking advantage of the exceptional tax lurks given by the government during the howard years(?) to the wine industry, which is basically all export industry. A major part of the problem is that water was administered by the States separately and historically they have over-allocated it, that is the allocations are so large that it is only in flood years that irrigators get 100%. This has been exacerbated in the last decade which has been very dry compared to the base periods when the optimistic allocations were made. Rice at least is a staple food crop. also, All/most of the rice growing areas were established by the government to provide food security. That may have been true in the middle 20th century, however most of it is now exported, production is quite seasonal but in good years we are big exporters of rice. Also on the scale of dollars earned per meglitre of irrigation water consumed rice is very low. Not to mention that the excess water that percollates away from rice fields in the MIA contributes to raising the water table and hence salinity problems. We have a glut of cheap rice from overseas as global transport is cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. But it will not be so for very long. Ergo we grow our own. David |

I don't know that any one party will get it right but hopefully this is a start. If everyone concerned worked together instead of as adversaries, we'd all be better off.

Sorry, but it was the government that decided to start the irrigation areas to prevent further food shortages as occurred post federation. Some were government sponsored and some were private. The continued development has been a mix as well. The Gov re-settled soldiers in some irrigation areas and the private sector went to make a buck. I don't see any point in bashing either public or private over this, there is plenty of blame to go around for all. The blame game has been going on for decades now, it could be time to stop it and get on with a future plan that will actually work. What other moron would turn 60,000 acre grazing properties into 600 acre farms or smaller orchard lots as they did around Mildura. Do you have any evidence that this happened, who was responsible or that it was a great problem? David |

Any towns and cities have established in the most fertile part of the area - usually a nearby river. Our planning some people let them continue to grow and plant house, not the food. In some the same dot good soil, we have a reasonable rainfall areas, need of protection.
