E-ducking-nuff already.
It’s quite a step down when you consider the ‘traditional’ land owners managed to live off that land without a hint of toxic anything on the dinner plate. Clever burning, clear rivers and ‘gentle’ use of the environment preserved the land for future generations; did we learn anything? Nope. Australia is ‘fragile’; water a precious commodity – if you doubt that, check the cost and the amount of money government were/are prepared to spend on desalination. We are a draught prone country; and yet, we continue, for purely altruistic reasons, to attack, with chemical weapons of destruction, that very asset. WTD – now there are frantic moves to deny responsibility, deny compensation and no, not one single solitary proposal to return the water to it’s original, pristine state. SORT IT OUT - fast type. FFS: I would not vote ‘green’ to save my life; climate change is the biggest load of old cobblers I’ve ever heard – but man! Pouring an unspecified amount of known toxic into the aquifer has to qualify for the rope. Forget the politics; take care of the people, the land and the water– we may then, just, have a chance of leaving something behind for the ‘kids’.
Long-winded for me, I know that; but FFS.
