Belly: ,spend the billions on STARTING a one hundred year project to get water inland

Just think the Chinese would have the entire Project finished in a year. Everyone on the Dole would be given a Wheelbarrow & it would be a 10% of the cost. Any whinging from the CFEMU & they'd be in the Nick quick smart. :-)

Jayb,
Good idea in principle but reality shows that a Leftist drug abusing work shirker hasn't got enough balance in the first place to pilot something as complicated as a wheel barrow.
Plus, how'd you get the Progressives on board with getting snowflakes to labour in the Sun even though that'd sweat the stupidity out of them.

Jay B this site would not let me report of my dislike for the CFMMEU
Or the dirty unhinged thugs and mugs workplace warfare they started against me
Because I was an official of another union
Too that their membership left and became mine, no respect here for the thugs and mugs,an enemy of the whole trade union movement
Lets start, let every year FOREVER be the year another part of the needed system opens
My union would be glad to be there hand in hand, every mass meeting of bush construction workers from the 1980,s called for it, voted for it at the end
We are lead by cash and carry politicians, no statesmen or women in sight not passion to build our country

We are lead by cash and carry politicians .........
Belly,
......who are voted in by cash & carry voters !

Kettles calling the pots black indeed !

indy first how do you devalue my opinion but grant your own free passage?
Is there any chance yours may not be shared by many
In fact you try blaming our current status on the Prime Minister we got in 1972, Whitlam
If true surely every one after failed us by not fixing his mistakes

Is there any chance yours may not be shared by many
Belly,
I KNOW it's not ! I most definitely don't de-value your opinion in this. you're right about the Whitlam effect, it's haunting us now several decades later. That is the insidious nature of Politics. The impact is not immediate, it turns into a gradual long-term legacy. Those who have thus far been unsuccessful to rectify the impact of the Whitlam era have not really failed, their efforts are still & at every turn sabotaged by those with the same mentality as the the crowd in 1972.
You simply can not undo 50 years of damage in 20 years particularly if it is a global damage sabotage by an idealist movement.
