Thinking further on that, I remember when the WA govt through some environmental instrument decided on polcy "ribbons of green" which in a nutshell, involved the planting of trees down the highways... you could look out, see the rows (just a few) of green trees.. and it was all OK....now you don't even have to look up or out.

Those flush with funds (such as the government now) could pipeline and plant, but they are dividing into a lower common denominator.... and the funds will be flushed...

Then again the last govt. bought the lines fed from Wall St about our need for savings, our need to invest our super in the Global economy, Wall St... and funds were flushed

Will we ever learn? Some might be our allies, doesn't mean that everything they would sell us is worth buying....

Australia has the resources, the means, the future unemployed people to build necessary infrastructure, create a wonderous life giving pipeline ... isn't it about time OZ grew up and determined its own destiny?

GROW UP AUSTRALIA and STOP BUYING BULL$HIT from ABROARD. Let OZ have its own PIPE DREAM and make it a REALITY.
