<< That's an awful lot of exclamation marks, Ludwig… >>

Yeah, you bring them out of me, Pericles.

<< …just to have a "play the man, not the ball" moment. >>

You’re not averse to doing that. So watch the hypocrisy there. I made a very valid point – you can be a vehement greenie when it suits you, while absolutely lambasting greenies in general!

That alone is worth a whole page of exclamation marks!! !!

<< Your State government does its best to supply you with water… >>

Oh BALLS it does!! It did its best to rapidly increase the demand for water when it knew that water-supplies were critically stressed! It increased restrictions for most users, while facilitating a rapid increase in overall usage!!

Then it panicked when it got really dry and declared that SEQ needed a new dam.

What an amazing demonstration of mismanagement!!

<< …and the Federal government - in the person of a dedicated Greenie - unilaterally overrules them >>

Well how about that! Good on him. But if he’d been a REAL greenie, he would have told the Qld govt that the primary issue is population growth! Ah, but he couldn’t have done that without going totally against his own Federal government’s doctrine of massive immigration!

<< Somehow, this is evidence that Queenslanders were against the dam in the first place, and would have preferred, given the choice at the ballot box, to vote to preserve non-threatened creatures over an improved supply of water? >>

What?? This issue wasn’t spoken about before the election. No one voted one way or the other in relation to that dam proposal.

<< You want to exert immediate control over our population, and see everything - including the simple concept of GDP - as a reason to fire up your mantra. >>

I want our government to realise that high immigration is highly counterintuitive and should be progressively reduced. And that GDP is a rotten and grossly misleading economic indicator.

So are we done? Is this the end of this discussion?

Yep.
