DAM WATER CONCERNS AND YES IT IS BLOODY CONCERNING!

Yet again, Ron is on the money. Tasmania's so-called 'planners' imagine that 'water' is available like money on the MONEYtree. Fresh water is something to be treasured and not anything to be spent WILLYnilly.  No longer should drinking quality fresh water be flushed down toilets. No longer should urban storm water be fed into sewerage plants. No longer should the discharges from electricity generation be dumped into waterways when it might be used for food and fibre production.
While ever planners sit in their ivory towers imaging that they are 'in charge', and are able to predict the future, our as yet unborn grandchildren are in peril. 

Why?  Because these planners serial and surreal ineptitude just goes unchallenged for a myriad of reasons. It turns out that every one of those reasons has a dollar sign in front of it ... as Ron would be inclined to say!
