It looked really bad didn't it - dead vegetation across the swamp.Boobookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395043246338753023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136691209248233009.post-5649033832426127242008-10-10T13:08:00.000-07:002008-10-10T13:08:00.000-07:00G'day Boobook,Me again.

I recommend a look at the transcript of a recent Landline episode - abc.net.au/landline/content/2008/s2369117.htm <BR/>I could not believe the attitude of some of the landowners.<BR/>GouldiaeGouldiaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534425400820381646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136691209248233009.post-17331165171237065562008-10-08T05:24:00.000-07:002008-10-08T05:24:00.000-07:00Hi BoobookGlad to see your group reading that exce...Hi Boobook<BR/>Glad to see your group reading that excellent book.<BR/>My local Save Water Alliance are trying to develop links with water warriors elsewhere in Australia, to fight the madness of coal mining under rivers, plundering of aquifers, and of course, things like the north-south pipeline in Victoria (to steal water from the Murray system for Melbourne).<BR/>Coca-cola Amatil pays the NSW Government $182 per year, for the right to plunder the aquifers of Mangrove Mountain (near Gosford) for water which it sells for millions and millions of dollars. It is obscene. <BR/>There is half a cup of oil goes into making each PET bottle, too. So it is not even sustainable. Plus drink bottles amount for a huge percentage of waste which Ian Tiernan's people clean up each year.<BR/>Good on you for raising the issue on your blog.<BR/>Water is a scarce resource, and we are giving huge companies enormous profits for a product we do not need. Australia's drinking water is world class (except Adelaide).<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
