Melbourne Stage 2 Water Restrictions

The sun blazes down continually on a parched nation while Mr Bracks worries himself about what is going to be done with the 6 million litres of water needed for two swimming pools at next year's FINA World Swimming Championship.

I wonder if he knows there are ways and means to take it to sheep like those in the photo? Sheep, many in lamb, which are possibly bound for the slaughteryards with unborn lambs probably to become dog food.

People wonder why the Farmers suicide out. Well, they do because farming is the only life they know. They have all been trained and brought up on the land and lets face it, Australia has far different farming methods to Africa.
They see no where to turn, and no way out.

Some person said they should leave the land and find work in the city. May I ask doing what? Moving out will not help them but rather could cause more suicides as the farmer tries to make a new life in a foreign field.

We are supporting far too many people! It is time Australia closed the floodgates to immigration and stopped giving so much money to mothers who have babies, and who also work!

It is time for Australia to stop playing "following the leader" and get real! This is the driest nation on earth and faces corners unknown to white people. Only the aboriginals know of past weather patterns prior to white settlement.

Because we have had 250 years of come rain, go rain, does not mean we cannot have 200 years of no rain.

Melbourne dams are now at 44% capacity. Yet, at the moment they also have filled household swimming pools. Of course, on Stage 2, they may not be permitted to waste water in such a manner. A line has been set up to dob people in who are wasting water.

Summer is almost here, what have we to face in the mallee? Viscious eerie dust storms, and if we get a sciff of rain, the rain is mud. Been there - done that in the 1982 drought.

Fences will be buried under heaps of sand and no amount of leaving stubble in farmed paddocks will stop intense winds from picking up the dust and carrying it.

Folk in the city have no concept of what the farmer faces as they never see the true country. They live in houses and High Rise Apartments looking out on a few trees, bitumen, traffic, houses, houses, houses, and perhaps Port Phillip Bay.


In the country, we look out at a blazing sunburnt country, and hoards of crows starting to gather ready to eat any newborn lamb as it is being born. Yet, we are helpless to stop them as Greenies have protected the crows, so they can't be killed.

Snakes are around us everywhere as they seek water from any avenue in houses. Snakes are also a protected species in Australia.

Cumbungi is choking whatever waterway there once was, but the farmer is not permitted to clean the Cumbungi out now to allow new growth as little birdies nest in it.

The country is up a dry creek with all this protection business caused by people who haven't got a clue what it is like to live on the land.



Craig Ingham has stated Melbourne should be on a much higher Water Restiction stage. I can't agree with that as cities use only 5% of our water supplies while farmers use the rest. But, they should be taught how to conserve water!

The cost to farmers is over $500 per meg for water. Most Farmers have used their reserve money and cannot afford the water, so, it evaporates.

The Loddon river is dry, a river I thought would never dry. I have seen the water over the roads on the Loddon region! The Avoca is dry. And there isn't too much in the Murray either!

During the 1930's, Inigo Jones, a famous weather forcaster warned that AROUND the year 2000, Australia would face a shocking drought such as was never known in the history of Australia. But, the Government of today has forgotten that warning.

Fact is, we are stuffed unless the skies open up.

Will prayer help? How the hell can it? The Government has allowed so much pagan stuff into Australia it's not funny! They have pushed for "religious toleration". Well, Christians OBEY GOD!

I have blogged about that before but just cannot stress it enough.

This great nation lies beneath the Southern Cross! A constellation which disappeared from sight in Jerusalem on the day Jesus died! Where did it travel to? Above Australia.

It is too late to make ammends now. The Angels guarding Australia are holding the clouds - and rain to a faithless and disobedient nation just as they are in other countries across the earth.

They can talk about Global Warming till the cows come home, they can talk about al nino till the cows come home, but the plain fact it, we are stuffed.

Today is going to be hot ...

Well, not very often do I become angry, but Bracksy, you made me angry worrying about what to do with that swimming pool water. Get your head out of the city and take a look at the country will you?
