Hasbeen and Shadow,
How long will it take you to realise it's all just crap?

GrahamY,
Why the ridiculous claim that "there is no allegation they paid too much"? Plenty have alleged that, and indeed I am now. What they were buying was overland flow rights i.e. floodwater should a flood occur. And not only did they pay quite a high price for what was likely to (and AFAIK did) come to nothing, but the problem of too little water in the river probably wouldn't even need alleviating if floods occurred.

My my kids have hijacked the keyboard
This threads is about supposed evil acts from the leader of our next government
But hate, blind hate and mud throwing gets a run
Some one bet a million dollars on Labor today, see SMH, to win about just under a quarter million
Bleeding leftist out of control voters, how dare they
And during the autopsy, after the self inflicted defeat,You must turn on [Liberals ?
Small l Liberals who too reject your control of THEIR party

Thanks, Belly:

Snowflakes to the Right of us !

Snowflakes to the Left of us !

And all so offended by each other, poor dears.

Grow a pair, you fellas.

It may not be deformation, more like defecation, but it sure is sickening! The Liberal supporting Murdoch gutter press 'The Daily Telecrap' tried to smear Bill Shorten with dirt through his dead mother. How low can you go, after the whole disgusting crap backfired it was heartening to see Scott Morrison "distance" himself from the cowardly attack. Just another nail in the coffin for the government.

Maybe I am smug, but bet on it I am no mug, rather be compared to steely than the lost aged right
Offended by this thread, its raw effort to throw mud, I now love it
The smell of burning conservative flesh is refreshing
Even knowing other Liberals are doing some of the burning
A week ago England, shut down, forever, its last coal fired power station
Bleeding science!
We may pipe some of the heat from this debate over there if it gets cold
Sunday after next can hear the screams now, great fun

Paul1405, I should probably have said no one serious. Your knowledge of the price of water rights is zero, or pretty close to. I don't make any claims to know what water rights are worth either, but I could pretty quickly build a case one way or the other by quoting comparable sales, the value of which must be available. That no one has means the price is not seriously in dispute. It is just a mud-slinging exercise.

On Bill's mum. That's a classic attempt to milk a penalty. The paper criticised him for not properly acknowledging his mother's success and he turns around and says they are demeaning her. That's Bill for you. He will turn anything to his advantage, and loves to play the victim card.

And of course all the usual suspects will seek to milk it for him as well. It's a bit like soccer. They spend more time on the grass pretending to be injured than they do kicking the ball, and the crowd loves it.
