Mr Howard's new water plan
We have had a rarity in Australian politics today. Prime Minister, John Howard made his Australia Day address today (it seems bit strange to do it on the day before Australia day) whiuch included a major announcement in relation to water basically what it involves is the Federal Government taking control of the Murray Darling river system from the State governments of New South Wales, Victoria and I think South Australia that look after it and bringing water in from the north. This plan will cost up to $10 billion dollars. The Prime Minister has already gotten support from the Labor Premier of New South Wales, Morris Iemma and the Federal Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd (which is the rarity, it's not often that Prime Minister Howard and Kevin Rudd agree on something) but the PM might not get support from the Victorian premier, Steve Bracks.
It's about time someone said "Right, let's do something about our water crisis" and I do wonder what sort of game the Victorian premier is playing because Australians are sick and tired of politicians on both sides (State and Federal) playing the game of political points scoring in relation to this issue, frankly something should have been done a long time ago in relation to the issue of water but most of the politicians were more interested in political points scoring which I find mind blowing and they are STILL at it eg: Malcom Turnbull who cancelled a NSW Government $50 million dollar (mind you, I think it was in relation to the desalination plant at Kurnell in Sydney's south and I don't support desalination plants at all...they are full of CO2 emissions and with climate change such a big issue, I think it's a problem)
Congratulations to Mr Rudd for supporting this new water plan and not being political...the only ones who will try to turn it into political points scoring are the Greenies and environmentalists who are very precious..let's just remember who is responsible for some of these bushfires next time.
