Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister for only 100 days more than it has taken Labor to undertake due diligence on the Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project Senator Joyce, Shadow Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Water said today.

 
"On Saturday, Labor re-announced the Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project (NVIRP) as if it was new spending. But it's old spending, 856 days old", said Senator Joyce today. 
 
"It has been 856 days since Labor Federal and State Governments signed the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement, which included a commitment to provide $1 billion to NVIRP as a "priority" project. Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister for 934 days.
 
"As reported in The Australian on the weekend, Labor made a decision to spend $43 billion on broadband in the time it took to fly across the country, but it has taken over 800 days to assess a project which could deliver substantial amounts of water for both communities and the environment.
 
"It is another example of a Labor Government with its priorities all the wrong away around. You can't download water.
 
"When the Coalition announced its 10-point water plan in January 2007 it prioritised the investment of $5.9 billion in infrastructure investments. Since then, Labor has spent $700 million more than expected on buybacks, but $350 million less than planned on infrastructure improvements.
 
"Labor have got it all the wrong way around. Their botched basin plan process threatens jobs, communities and the family farms that provided Australians with affordable, high-quality produce for generations.
 
"If Labor takes this long to simply do its sums, how long is it going to take to deliver the first drop of water to the Murray-Goulburn region."

Speaking of Infrastructure... Precision Agriculture(PA) Management Systems! Why isn't this embraced by all those DPI agencies about? Suppose its a sign of the times as "shit for brains" Governments seem to miss the point of land use for their "green" illusionists buddies. The Information Age, is the Backbone for any Catchment Management Program... Its a untapped resource in the Agricultural sector. Governments don't want responsibility for the land as its easier to sell it off to the overseas. PA is the Key! If Australia is going to be 'Working Forward' into the future. Instead of 'Moving' our wealth/trade offshore.

Simon:

I suggest you motivate the people living in your area to do something about this colossal ripoff of all Australians.

As Barnaby says, farmers cannot download water. Probably many are too depressed and worried to carry this particular burden without help from the Australian masses.

But you and others can do the next best thing, and download a very powerful tool known as Information. Tell all of the people in the district to go onto the internet and start reading Barnaby's Blog.

Before the end of the month, there will be a State election in Victoria. This will be an excellent opportunity for ALL PATRIOTIC AUSTRALIANS to deliver a much needed message to the government.

I can vouch for the fact that patriots of this nation are fed up with being subjected to a Green Slave Labor Communist Regime.

BTW the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) will be running 75 candidates in Victoria. I'm predicting that there will be a record number of votes for the smaller centrist parties.

Please people, don't make the mistake of turning your protest vote against the major parties into a vote for The Greens. This would be committing economic suicide ... jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!

The Greens cannot get anything right. They want homosexuals to be able to adopt babies, while supporting abortion.

They want us to buy cheap foreign imports, which end up not only costing us more and doubling the amount of discarded junk in the landfill, but putting hundreds of thousands of Australians out of work.

If these idiots are able to think about anything on an intelligent interactive basis, I am yet to see any positive examples of it.

Lorikeet, Isn't suspect? that the Greens use Human Rights issues as a means to change LAWS. Life is a gift from our Creator! A cursed Life is of one that dosen't abide by laws. Respect Life and its Offerings. Accept Life for what it is...

Lorikeet, Here's more of my dribble. Dosen't these green times of today sort of resemble a "Green Oppression" Vs the Gentiles! I'm a proud gentile are you? Since we're dealing with the greatest moral challenge of our time. Sounds like a History lesson all over again.

Don't put yourself down. The world has more than sufficient detractors without doing it to yourself.

In relation to The Greens, I know that when I went to Sunday School as a little girl, I learned from the Book of Revelations that someone/s would come and perpetrate the world's greatest evil, but they would pretend to be saviours, and that most Christian people would be fooled.

Now more and more churches are teaching the new Gospel According to the Greens! I have spoken with church pastors and chaplains, and told them their people might start voting for The Greens. They said their churchgoers would NEVER vote for The Greens.

For any church people who are reading this, Carbon Foot Printing is part of the Green/Red/Black Atheist religion. Please insist that it is removed from your church immediately! And tell your school you don't want it taught to your children.

I think the fact that The Greens support Abortion, Euthanasia and Homosexual Marriage and Adoption is a very clear indicator that they are working against all creation.

Yes, you're right about the human rights abuses. According to The Greens, you may not send an illegal immigrant back where he/she came from, but you can murder your own babies, the sick and the elderly AT WILL!

In case you didn't know, there are more than 30,000 people in Australia with HIV/AIDS, but still The Greens want to push a deadly sexual activity onto all of us as the norm. Would we take a swim in the sewer? I think not.

Diseases such as Syphilis and Chlamydia are also rampant in our society. Sexually Transmitted Infections are increasing because the Labor government, The Greens and the Family Planning Association all push sex with nearly anyone as the equivalent of a bedroom sport.

I'm not sure what your definition is of a Gentile, since there are quite a few to choose from.
