east coast gets a lot of rain just flowing out into the ocean
pump it out west to catchment dams when possible and distribute when needed
may save a lot of this flooding situations if they were pumping when it started to flood and they know its coming
they pump gas thru a pipeline from west to east surely they can pupmp water east to west
3 billion will be admin costs and getting studies done by so called exspurts [used drips]of de-greed persons who dont know much

Victoria has a desal plant sitting idle, producing nothing. The initial annual running cost was estimated to be $132 million. Although this cost has undoubtedly risen, the interest from a 5 billion federal drought fund @ just 3% would return 150 million and the plant could run non stop. We have just spent over 50 billion on the NBN of which much has gone to India. How about adding a few billion for pipes and pump water to where it will aid farm production. 💦💦

5 Billion? That would nicely fund a private army to over throw the government, then we could get some people in to properly help out our farmers.
Can anyone spell 'coup d'etat'?

👍👍👍👍 I think a Monarchs committee could do a better job than ALL the current lot of oxygen thieves.

How do you know when you have enough bikes?
I have the DR, the GS and the Postie and ride them all. Would really love an SV curvy naked, or perhaps a Strom 650, but know that I seriously don't have the time to ride them all.

Bought a new imported Ford F350 Tri-Flex Fuel Truck...
Go figure... It runs on either hydrogen, gasoline, or E85.
I returned to the dealer yesterday, because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The service technician explained that the radio was voice activated.
'Nelson!' The technician said to the radio.
The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?'
'Willie!' he continued and 'On the road again' came from the speakers.
Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant,' Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson.
I drove away happy and for the next few days, every time I'd say, 'Beethoven!', I'd get beautiful classical music.
And if I said 'Beatles!', I'd get one of their awesome songs.
Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly smashed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid him...
I yelled, “F**king Idiot!!!”
Immediately, the radio responded with:
"Ladies and gentlemen, an address from the Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten."
Damn, I love this truck!!!

Once upon a time... The king called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The royal weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain for at least 4 days. So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area." The king was polite and considerate, so he replied, "Thanks for your concern, but don't worry. It's not going to rain today. I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him." So the king continued on his way. However, a short time later torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition. Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster. The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtained the information about rain today from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain very soon." So the king hired the donkey instead. And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. The practice is unbroken to this day!
