    It's a funny thing that Building dams has been mentioned, now lets go back to when Anna Bligh was in power in Qld, not so long ago really, she was trying to get a dam built in Queensland, but came up against locals who lobbied against her in the strongest way and were successful.

    She was a Labor Premier, her response was that it is virtually impossible to build a dam anywhere in Australia without it being challenged by someone who has to forfeit there land to the project as such, and used the media to protest as well, I remember the locals screaming blue murder, it being such a large project, it has to be someone.

    She gave up in the end, and said it was impossible to get any dam built in QLD without offending someone. Oh well I guess no one wants go down that road again because you need to be popular to get votes.

    I can see her point though, she's in a better job now, representing the banks, funny that a an ex Labor premier now represents the banks.
