Water drill ban has farmers fuming
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/26/2801387.htm?section=justin

  First they take the opportunity to stop building dams, then as it
water become artificially scarce, becuase now you havent got any water,  
they start charging for it, when it used to be free.
  Any one want to stop breathing, as youre consuming my oxygen and
breathing out CO2.
  Oh yes wasn't that part of the Carbon tax they were going to put on us
all?
  Well that's their attitude. Who? The Governments we have voted in. Its
time for another party.

Sorry I am not familiar with QLD dam building policy.  What opportunity is
this?  What dams is the QLD government not building?


Water is not an infinite resource.  The only way to get a sensible water
policy and cost effective water use is if it has a reasonable value.   If it
seems  "free" to some people (nothing is ever really free) it is overused
and used on things because the opportunity is there not because there is a
good business case for doing it that way.


Are you voicing an objection to two policies here or is there a connection
between water policy and carbon tax?

You work for the government and are there to make sure you crap on any
dissension to their plans!

Lets just say you're the only one defending this.
So why not others? Easy, you're the only one who needs to.
Pull your head in.
It happens in Victoria, and soon coming to a state near you.

Youre talking crap when we let corperations use it to drive out small
stake holders. Water is being used. If you know American history its
happening again in Australia. Water is being used to screw farmers.

You cant see this? Are you somehow being misled regarding Climate
change, water policy and attempts to gain advantages over small land
holders?

So do you know or not?  Or do you just expect people to take your word for
this lack of dam building?


So which corporation/s are driving out small stake holders?  How are they
driving out small stake holders? Are these corporations acting alone?  Are
these corporations public or private entities or are they quangos? Are these
corporations in cohoots with the State government or with the Federal
government.   Which incidents in American history are your referring to?


Perhaps you could try explaining the connection.

Are you somehow being misled regarding Climate

Given that in just 2 posts you've mixed into the pot Federal political
parties, State political parties, Federal environmental policy, State
environmental policy, unexplained references to both small landholders and
to American history, I haven't got a clue what you're on about.  You're
clearly pissed off and feeling upset, but you could try harder to actually
explain what the issues are rather than just spray all over the place.
