Gobbledock: your mention of "Failure to fix our water infrastructure including the much needed Murray River", is another example of government interference in something they knew nothing about in the lofty heights of suburbia and Canberra. Howards good intent to share the water to the states who were constantly complaining about each other pissing upstream, was usurped by the bureaucrats and subsequent green and green dependant politicians and the Murray Darling Basin Authority was bastardised. They redefined the original aim of the Snowy Mountains Scheme from a storage facility for irrigation downstream in the water starved interior with the added benefits of a hydro electric generating facility to a green energy producing facility which holds water to be drained without thought to agricultural need and downstream flooding of wetlands until it reached the coast where they turned a salt water swampland into a freshwater swampland draining uselessly out to sea. The damage it did and still does to local community's and the irrigation food production has had great impact on domestic and overseas needs. People committed suicide.
Water by nature runs downstream, but our green masters have made that industry conform with "water saving" innovations including drip irrigation where running water is taken from channels and pumped into irrigation dripper pipes using, you guessed it, expensive electricity, some made by running water and other by coal. Government grants at the cost to the taxpayer helped achieve this startling ability to pump water uphill to replace water running downhill was supposed to save frogs for the fishermen to use as bait for the Murray Cod because they now have nothing else to do.
The greens and their co dependants should be sent to the Antarctic to play ring around the rosy with themselves and their appendages. Take their windmills with them.
Industry is constantly ignored by the bureaucrats (rat's) at the cost to the taxpayer. Safety is another growing industry in itself. Our CASA is a prime example of government waste by the unelected, uninformed, incompetent and un unaccountable. An open hunting season should be to declared on all regulatory capable private, QUANGO's, and government "powers" that make it difficult for private enterprise to be carried out.
Idiots, the lot of them.
