Flannery did say none of our dams would ever be full again while fearmongering with his climate change religion.

I agree, up to the point at which Flannery never actually said that.

Why do we have a military and not use it?

Why do we need F35s?

Why do we need $ 36 billion of submarines?

The poor condition of the desalination plant is a sad reflection of Australian engineering, products, and maintenance.

Evidently the Mechanic and his sidekick Bobby were laborers on the desalination projects.

What nonsense about me & Mechanic.
You should write fiction novels for a living -
at least you'd get paid for it.

In the case of Bobby and the Mechanic, truth is stranger than fiction.

So Mr Unforgiven,
you're a member at Monk's place aren't you?
Anything you'd like to let me know from the members room?
Anything about those 5 fraudulent votes?

Is Bobby confessing?

Did the Mechanic practice mind control on Bobby?

Do wild bears defecate in the woods?

Bobby, you are suffering a persecution complex.

You believe the hat stand that replaced you in your former job conspired against you.

He did say that are you retarded?

The Conversation is a leftist source

Quote:

Tim Flannery, now Australia’s Chief Climate Commissioner, declared rather bizarrely in 2007 that hotter soils meant that “even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems”.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Thats not the same as " none of our dams would ever be full again". You know for the educated amongst us, theres this thing called context.

It's possible that unusual droughts and global warming aren't the sole reasons for having a de-sal plant.

Water contamination would be a fairly simple and devastating method if we were to be attacked.

We have an army that we don't (shouldn't) want to use, and that of course costs a fortune.
Think of it as part of our defense force, then you may think differently.

Interesting theory Amadd, but if that ever happened - wouldn't they blow up the plants also? They are sitting targets.

We would have been better off giving more protection to our natural underground water storage and even building underground storage from surface run off for emergencies.

These desalination plants chew up dolphins, dugongs etc - not to mention billions of dollars and then sit idle.

I was more referring to a terrorist attack on our water supply where a de-sal facility would be harder to contaminate I'm supposing. Anyway, I can understand the points that it's a bit of a waste of money and an environmental pest atm.

Don't they have semi trailer desal plants... i don't know how economical they r, but a fleet of them to go where needed in Australia would seem the go. Wink

It is in use everyday. Has been since the day we got here.

The fact you are poorly educated and maintain a limited understanding of the world around you, has nothing to do with the activities of the ADF.
