Not Water from PNG, Don. I was making the point that this gas pipeline is surely inspiration to consider piping water from Northern Australia and elswhere to the farmland of the eastern inland areas.

We have water but it is in the wrong places so let's pipe it, store it and drought proof much of our country. The answer is water and not handouts from governments. That treasurer the smirk or our littlepiece of rubbish pm, prefer to pray for rain whilst stripping money from drought relief. But then infrastructure to them is limited to Maxmore Wilton and ports with worrying levels of complacency.

We may well have a once-in-a-generation surge in world economic growth but are saddled with a conservative and unimaginative government squandering opportunities.
