Oh well, are we surprised by anything Penny Wong might do?

While the cat was away, the Climate Change mouse came to play ... in St George ... an extremely conniving, gutless manoeuvre.

Penny Wong continues to treat the wrong end of the water problem. Instead of removing water from irrigators she should do something about increasing the supply end. There is plenty of water on the NSW north coast esp. the Upper Clarence River Valley. There is also plenty in North Queensland. The rivers are there to transport it inland. All it needs is a small part of those wasted stimmulas moneys to do the needed works. Electricity generation would pay for it. The term gigalitres means nothing to most people, but when you put it that the water that the government wants to take from irrigation to give to the "environment" would grow enough food for more that Australia's population for a year it really shows what Penny Wong's agenda is.

Dear Barnaby,
Thankyou for the opportunity to meet in Echuca Victoria, you seem to be on the right path to obtaining a real understanding of the concerns of the people of th MDB.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience to be given the opportunity to be the Water Minister for 5 minutes, a very unique way of gaining an understanding of peoples concerns.
Thankyou,
Andrew Christian

Ernest Kitto:

You make some excellent points. I saw this issue addressed on a recent "Landline" program.

A cotton grower said that since he has been subjected to water rationing, he has had to reduce his crop to one third. (It seems to me that water used to all free from the sky and that the cost of drinking it or using it in any way was nil.)

This will serve to further empower third world countries using slave labour, get farmers off their land, and deliver another broadside to the Australian economy.

We have experienced a population explosion of pesky possums and Hendra Virus-carrying bats, but it seems they are now more important than any person or farmyard animal.

According to the CEO of the CSIRO who did the National Press Club address in 2009, we are capable of growing enough food to feed 60 million people, even in drought conditions. This was corroborated by another person on "Landline". The government wants to export most of the food, while leaving us to pay through the nose for the crumbs.

A man named Lord Christopher Haskins (who has been serving in the British parliament) has been cited in the past by a Greens candidate as an expert on Climate Change and the need to get rid of the livestock industries.

Luckily I smelled another large stinking rat immediately. I figured he had to be a wheat farmer, so I did a bit of investigation.

This guy is a former director of National Foods, a massive global company which produces frozen pizzas, burgers etc. In the past, he has been fined for selling very wheaty burgers etc at very meaty prices.

I was sure he wanted to take over the land being used to farm livestock, so he could grow more wheat, which at the time was commanding the highest price of all of the grains.

He also seemed to have an interest in building expensive condominiums, possibly to be used as country holiday homes.

Since I needed to visit a rug shop recently, I decided to consider and discuss with the shop owner, the likely effects on the business of destruction of the lifestock industries. A lot of their rugs are made from wool, and some are made from cotton or synthetics derived from the coal industry.

Under Green ideology, we can say goodbye to most natural and synthetic fibres. Bye bye to blankets, jumpers, leather jackets, lounge suites, car seats, belts, shoes, wallets, saddles and handbags - even tallow to make candles - not to mention the shirt off your back!

Wait a minute! What about underwear, jeans, tablecloths, tea towels, sheets and curtains?

If you think we ladies might be able to knit with some of the new natural/synthetic fibre blends, you might be in for another sad disappointment. Some of the newer yarns contain bamboo, silk or soy.

Once the animal fibres are gone (due to excessive flatulence and burping) and there is not enough cotton to go around (due to high water consumption), The Greens will impound the bamboo plantations to feed the Giant Pandas. I'm sure we also won't be allowed to steal silk from the silkworms.

So what are we going to do? Go out into the forest and shoot kangaroos? No, once half of the country is turned over to the native wildlife, we won't even be able to go there, and guns will be completely banned.

So you think you will give knitting soy a go? Forget it, there won't be enough to go around at meal times once the livestock industries are destroyed, and those fat juicy kangaroos are out of bounds as well. (Sorry for the unintentional pun. I'm sure kangaroos will still have plenty of bounce left in them.)

I can hardly wait to walk around on prickly kapok carpets or get splinters in my feet from wiping them on sisal mats. I guess it won't be much of a problem once "unnecessary" floor coverings are banned from the new third world size blocks of high rise beehive apartments.

Oh, no! We won't be allowed to cut down trees. Say goodbye to cardboard boxes, newspapers, toilet tissue.

If someone can come up with a substitute for timber, I'd really like to hear it!

Oh no, the plot thickens!

Now someone has come up with a new product which is a synthetic meat. I have no further details at the moment, but I think you can mix it into the stir fry or spaghetti bolognaise.

Soon we may end up having to eat that crap served up to astronauts.

Well, I hope people are looking forward to more new taxes designed to take your cars off the road and confine you to your home base, if you can still find a place to park.

Travel Distance Tax
Traffic Congestion Tax
More Road Toll Taxes

And don't forget about the $17 billion we all have to pay to the third world each year.

Then when you have been forced by Green necessity to purchase an expensive new solar-electric car made in China, it will rain for a month and you won't be able to go anywhere.

Then when you're crying into your coffee/beer and thinking that the state of the nation and your personal freedom cannot get any worse, a news report on your tiny little TV will tell you that the car you have just purchased no longer meets the Global Standard of Poverty.

Then you will have to toss it onto the dump, along with all of your other banned items, to empower China's economy all over again, while switching your kids to eating vegemite sandwiches - another true blue Aussie product which is no longer Australian.

Who said these Greenies aren't into dumping things?

Now no one is game to throw cheap junkie clothing made in Asia onto the dump. We have to save it for the hundreds of thousands of people who are already homeless.

And guess what? The people who leave cages in our shopping centres hoping for donations of food items etc for the poor at Christmas, are already back again!

Pardon me if I seem a bit gloomy, but when I read about the Artificial Meat, it said it comes from a pig.

They intend to artificialise and extend a mushy pile of muck from one pig into enough "meat" to feed a million people.

The article I read said it would be available in about 4 years, but on a television program on Friday, people stirred this red muck into their risotto and bolognaise AND ARE EATING IT NOW!!!

Scientists are still working on something more solid that will resemble a pork muck steak.

And my little joke about what astronauts eat has left me somewhat down in the mouth. My son told me about a product called Quorn, which is made from a fungus and is a meat substitute which is bound with egg white.

Vegans and some vegetarians can't eat it because of the egg white. Who gives a stuff about that?

I think the reason that skulduggerous Lord Haskins from the British Parliament wants to get rid of the livestock industries quickly, is so he can get in first to buy the vacant land to grow his wheat.

I don't want to buy genetically modified foods, banquet on artificial mush, or fill my tummy up with copious amounts of fungus.

I think they all just want to poison us, or make us die from depression, while native animals gallivant, frisk and copulate all over the place, while eating decent food.

If I was a farmer, I might hedge my bets and raise half livestock and half wheat, where possible. But perhaps this would be playing straight into the hands of The Greens and these new Scientific Muck Rakers.
