By Victoria Kearney, published 14/2/2006

The way of thinking about national water policy in Australia should be broadened to include a more wholistic and spiritual perspective.

We're stuffed, after reading Victoria Kearney, then 2much4some, I can well appreciate why we see our society and environment in the condition it is.

“So lets all go back to baby brain gym and give it a try, so that we can get the picture together as a whole, both the maths and the creative.” From Victoria.

“This 'feel good groovy approach' is exactly what we need, a sharing of our interdependence!
The reactions to the article just reinforce the commitment and urgent need for educating for change”
From 2much4some.

Really shows us how far from reality these supposedly educated people are. Can't they say anything sensible, or that makes sense. What language do these people speak, beaurucrasilly, or academinsanity. Do they understand English and how it relates to real people and our environment. Who cares whether we are in a drought or not, the available water in this country is inadequate for the needs of a population this size, the farming methods and life styles we currently use.

First step required, no more people. Second step, change practices away from massive water usage farming techniques and towards sustainable farming. Get rid of most of the cloven hoofed animals and start to utilise our own natives which are far superior to destructive feral livestock. We also have native crops that can easily be developed to add to our export markets, creating niche markets. Result, less water, improving environment, better lifestyle for all. Recycle all water in cities for re use or pumping to farming areas, Don't privatise, really simple.

So down the drain hole we go with all our water, as the experts inflate their egos with semantic incomprehensible rubbish. Can someone tell me what a Doctorate of Philosophy in Human Geography is, what it represents and what you can do with it. Plus what does it has to do with water, unless its refers to piss and wind

So now Ian Lowe (of ACF) is an expert and unbiased mentor? Daffy Duck for PM.

Just that you can compartmentalise each forum response and reaction into area of speciality: the scientist, the geographer, the educator the planner the engineer the economist, the politician and the environmentalist, its not until these dots are joined together and they take in all points of view and widen their perception and understanding will they see the “big picture”

Widening your perception is about acceptance that spirituality is part of every person’s life education, growth and development

Spirituality, eh. Is that where we can conclude that the green cultists are worshipers of Baal (the earth) and therefore are an abomination under Jewish, Christian and Muslim teaching?

I just can't wait for the day when we solve all the MurrayDarling water use issues by compulsory colonic irrigation with saline groundwater.

Can't help thinking that responses to Ms Kierney's views are rather emotional and more than a tad defensive. Makes me think that they have something to lose when people react like this. Why is it so threatening if people start thinking about water issues in a new way?

Why get caught up in the metaphors? Focusing on the language trivialises what has to be said. Typical political tactic.

Deal with the issues- come up with workable solutions. Maybe its time to stop playing with your dick boys!
