farmer, the desal plant was built during the longest running drought in Australia's history. Fair enough it is not that you are on with criticism of the decision to build it now that we have plenty of water. Matey just draw on your imagination for ten minutes and picture a city of five million or so with no water. Not a very nice scene at all. Yet that could have easily been the case and would have been if the drought had continued and there was no alternative water supply. You blokes reckon that the Gillard government is in the soft stuff at the moment. Think how the people would have regarded a government which failed to ensure that it's people had sufficient water to survive. And so I reckon matey that your criticism of Labor for building the desal plant is a, to put it politely, bit rough.
