The rumour that Saint Tony will be made Ambassador to the Vatican has not yet been confirmed.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull could expand the Liberal constituency if he asked Greg Hunt to confirm or deny that nutrient pollution proliferated algae plant matter is most likely warming areas of ocean and changing the climate.
Greg Hunt has insight to relevant evidence of substance.

Then MT could speak to Warren Truss and Barnaby Joyce and ask might it be at all possible to harvest wet season water in northern Queensland and send it via steel aqueduct south into headwaters of the Murray Darling catchment, the latter commencing inland from Fraser Island.
It's downhill, no need for pumping.

Any interested party should then consider how the use of steel in such a system might stimulate the ore mining and steel industry.
Such water management infrastructure is needed worldwide.

Then MT could ask environment people if they think sending a flow of excess northern Queensland water to the Darling River and the water starved Coorong estuary, might be possible.
Environment flows could also be taken from the system to help drought impacted wetlands along the way.

This is about developing productive infrastructure to also achieve various solutions.

But does MT know about OLO and this thread?

"The rumour that Saint Tony will be made Ambassador to the Vatican has not yet been confirmed"

He may have competition there with Xavier College boy Willie Shorten's imminent availability. Fees alone are around $24k pa at that prestigious Jesuit College.

Although any boy discharged from Labor service is usually very badly damaged by the exit ritual. Then again, Kevin Rudd attended Marist Brothers Ashgrove for a time so maybe he was due and perhaps somehow enjoyed a flogging anyhow.

What's the bet that Julie Bishop knowing Malcolm Turnbull will become a liability very quickly will stab Malcolm in the back,just like she did to Tony ? Looks like a Julie Gillard Kevin Rudd scenario.

It is reported that Malcolm Turnbull had a private meeting with Rupert Murdoch just before the leadership spill just like Tony did a couple of years ago. While Tony is ruthless,he does have a moral code and relates to the common person.

With our coming economic woes,the elites need a ruthless leader to do their austerity bidding and Malcolm it seems,fits the bill.

Agriculture again having control of the Murray Darling Basin as in news today, is a step in the right direction for the teamwork required to manage the whole of the MDB water ecosystem.

Australia is a food producing nation.

Water is essential for food and fibre production, especially if there is to be an increase in production to increase export product capable of generating increase in employment and income and increased return of revenue for government services.

Managing water for agriculture can be achieved in harmony with caring for the environment.
Media and green groups have been ignoring devastation of ocean ecosystems.
Whale calf abandonment and stranding's and mass starvation of seabirds is sometimes reporting but causes and reasons and solutions are not investigated and reported.

There is need for water to reach the Coorong estuary, the Coorong is supposed to be a vital small fish nursery area feeding bigger fish and other animals in ocean waters.

A problem at present is that major media is not reporting the real state of the ocean environment, consequently voter are presently not aware of the devastation of ocean ecosystems or solutions so urgently required.

It is obvious the public will support sensible government care and management of the whole-water-ecosystem, and achieving such management has equally obvious potential to expand any political constituency.

Runner, have a look at this.
