Belly,

My comments were addressed to people with a much, much higher IQ than yours. The impracticality and cost of your ramblings highlight your lack of intelligence. Anyway, you vowed never to respond to a troll like me. Your goldfish memory seems to have let you down.

Cossomby yes silage lasts and lasts and is great food, now back in the 1960,s drought a book was written I think by a bloke named MacDonald, he spoke of using dams and silage as a part of drought proofing, thinking back to those days we younger folk, then living in the City mowed lawns and saw the grass bailed and take to them, hardly worthwhile today, Foxy have given to that group not just of late but in its Victorian work last year,my dam and pump theory will not even try to address the pump from dam to farm problem, first get the water to the right place, surely we know I am not talking about some huge rain making garden sprayer? if we start now, and only achieve some of the dams and most sewage around the country turned inland we do something?if our first achievement leads to an area mass cattle feed can be grown for distribution it is a start

'Let this country first look at Israel'

one of the smartest things you have said Belly. Such a tiny population who saw the barren desert converted to such fruitfulness. World leaders in medicine, agriculture and defense.

Don't forget Israel is a postage stamp. You could fit it on the Darling downs half a dozen timed.

It is also basically flat, so easy to pump stuff about.

Do be careful Belly. That idiot Turnbull is pretty good at grabbing the impossible, & wasting billions proving the fact.

The Turnbull government can find only $44 million to LOAN to Australian drought-stricken farmers, but GIVES AWAY $210 million to foreign farmers EVERY YEAR. Turnbull has given $21 BILLION of our money to foreigners in aid since 2014.

What was that debt figure built up by Turnbull again?

My 50 dams may in fact become a thousand, we need to remember it is only limited to both what we want and how in the next 100/200 year new tec can help, wind powered pumping, direct or by powering other pumps can be part of a starting point, if we just turn half a million liters a day from one system multiply that by the possible hundreds around the coast Israel may be small but it was even worse than some of our land,we can and should consider the long term benefit of starting something now
