The Wonthagi White Elephant


Brumby will be hopping mad behind the scenes after the AG yesterday looked under the gladwrap ; Holding may claim otherwise, but the scheming had all the backing it needed : it looked and sounded right - nice; too bad the idea isa s thin as ice; sus science and cost benefit analysis. . And there will be more window dressing on water politeness to come; Massive triple bypass surgery is inappropraite and unsustainable for a system that needs lateral care and self care. Sound conservation theory would have told them so- if only this government were into it!
So much for their conservation credentials. You heard it first on blogger.
--The method of producing the water alone, is sus.( see the future)
- Noboby is going to want to buy it ( "we are polys we don't understand about paying for things ") - nobody is going to want to drink it ( we are polys we panic at the very word saltin the water)
Maybe Thwaites should have got an env study done (an EIS )---then at least he would have realised his ideas are not even in the ecozone.
Bracks sacked the real experts in the field, reaping the whirlwind of his own arrogance and lack of wisdom in eco matters. Who else but meglomaniacs would produce those ridiculous ads with the drops of water being created. Never rains but it certainly drips a lot .(You heard it first on Blogger April 11 2008)

The old Superman myth clearly comes back to haunt the reactionaries. Shaw himself, if he were here , would have warned these tired old Fabians about the dangers of simply relying on "good intentions".
Thwaites and his mates got it all wrong. And they got it all wrong because they themselves "knew all about the dry times and how to fix them" ;They set up to do what God does, and do it better. Weighed in the balance , the writing is now on the wall about their presumption and stupidity. The Wonthagi White Elephant
Clearly the Bracks government were overwhelmed by clever care talk by men cloned too closely - those who had never put their toes into the tough seas of managing real wind and weather ( let alone the economia of soil and water in a rural economy) those who show more emotion and gall than experience in matters of conservation.
And we haven't heard the last of costly touting at matters of temperature control . Maybe its a skill they teach down under ?

Clearly superman talk is a dangerous and common form of mental illness amongst the wannabes.

Brumby will have a hard time rounding up the cats that bracks has unleashed on the country. His policy of letting ministers make up their own minds ( running their very own study tours of everything) only shows what a parlor state the so called public service is under his leadership. Under Thwaites the professional public servive in conservation has became the private service of some new pedants - it will take very careful surgery to out the beast . These blokes can do just about anything - they think !

Only a matter of time before this ongoing failure to exorcise the demons of false courage reveals more budget blowouts --where they need not be . The devil, of course, is not interested in the prevention and protection strategies of true professionals ;
but they don't believe in the devil do they? Clearly it would help if they did .

Time too that Nicola Roxon ( talks glibly about the need for protection policy - boy would she go somewhere if she talked profesions policy ) and Rudds team realised that talk goes nowhere if the loud noises from down under is what you are listening to. So IS thats what next week will be - noise?

As Shaun Macalief said so well on Newstopia - lets put the mental back in environmental- before we all go completely mad over more irrational and blinkered touting at some new way to pump all the problems up and over some new hill.
