Water Watch

Post by White Indigene » Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:34 am

I spose Labor is itching for its chance to flex its real industrial muscle.

It will come in the form of the Governments first real emergency, that declared in the south, where water is scarce, and perhaps soon gone.

I presume that the authorities have all the implications of such matters covered, for we would not want a co-incidental matter to catch on like wild fire, while the great and glorious Party is dealing and working and talking and speaking with all the neccassary steakholders, oh and off course the Unions, as the dams run dry.

Imagine a scenario where citizens who havent paid their union ticket, suddenly find themselves quantifiably more targeted for disaster, than the paid-up members. Off course, this would be hard to determine, because the ACTU data-base is a secret one (sssh everyone), and thus only those on the inside would have access to the numbers. But a good statistician could easily work out what transpired.

Indeed, as might others looking at water levels.

Yes, its criminal how the Howard gov stood by for twelve long years and did nothing, and then we have small minded people putting the blame on the new Rudd gov to come up with all the answers in nine months.

The Victorian state government is largely to blame for the recent top-down mismanagement of the Murray. I personally blame the entitlement mentality of our farmers. They see it as waste if water flows past their properties or out to see. They would even make Adelaide spend a fortune on desalination while they pour water on the ground. The root cause is political pressure from farmers and their lobbies that gets in the way of effective managment of the resource.

You're right freediver, but what the farmers should be doing is farming things that suit their area, why grow rice in Leeton? too dry, up in Casino a farmer is growing rice now on old sugar cane land, its perfect.
The problem is changing farming habbits.

Yes,

but for those who didnt notice, the ALP spent 12 long years educating the people about how it had all the answers to all australias problems. I dont think anyone missed this point.

Now, expect that the ALP will spend as many years reaffirming to the population of its previous 12 years ranting, whilst doing next to nothing. Of that, there is no doubt.

Expect the Nanny-God Party state to fail everywhere, and fail to bring rain too. Expect it to give birth to class relationships fisrt, and look to all matters afterward. If and when it can cement the class nature of its constitution, the Nanny-God ALP Party state might begin to 'act'; though this will only be in the context of sweeping reductionism to Party mandates. This is evident in the ALP's pugalistic plagiarism, as they now seek to usurp a language and dialogue which covers its very own existance well, and thus seek to veneer the little Liberals with this plagiarism.

Let me spell it out. Whislt the ALP seeks its Queens English dialogue (one it probably deeply despises), it thus obviates all its rhetorical flaws, structural faults and thusly uncovers its real social agenda. That being a) the Union overlord ship, b) the Nanny-God Party state, and c) an atheist bent.

This final point being the one that secures the Nanny-Party God state in society, because God cant make it rain, so the Party is the answer to all mens problems.

I hate to have to spell it out to the ALP, but they are so funked up, even GenY can see it.

Now thats saying something :idea:
