Why can't we lease these things to investors instead of selling outright?
Might as well sell our souls to them.

When this sale took place Cubby hadn't grown cotton because they were bankrupt basically...due to drought etc. The massive water holding didn't have any in it.....1% actually.

The surrounding property owners ....Australians....were interviewed and all agreed that the sale would be a good thing

The sale went ahead with guarantees of water releases into the downstream river systems.

I'm unsure if Cubby have planted since the purchase but adjoining properties have had water allocation since.

As far as I can tell the sale of Cubby has been of value to all.

Hopefully sense will prevail - doesn't look good though.

understatement of the year

i only got to see a few minutes of Q&A this week but was somewhat taken aback by the reaction of the crowd to the statements by the federal parliamentarian trying desperately to defend what i consider to be the indefensible.

i haven't had a chance to go see what the makeup of the audience was but it is usually within the scope of about 60/40 one way or another each week.

is the first time i think i have heard so big a majority of the audience object so stridently to a statement from a sitting coalition member....

seems the vast majority have judged the latest assault on those least able to defend themselves, as something to be upset about.

interesting times indeed it seems.

well , our immediate future lies in the hands of a select few , no doubt whom would be getting a literal caning from all directions of advice.

I only hope these few have enough nouse to realise how very important their decisions are going to be and enough guts to put there personal futures on the line in lieu of there egos and peer pressures.
