Shows @ 647. Indian cricket has it’s problems, but when they catch players dealing with illegal bookies [- they punish them. I certyainly don’t recall Waugh or Warne being given lengthy bans. I also note that in the interests of transparency and honesty CA stated that all they did was provide weather and, think, pitch, information to the bookies – something that any cricket fan would know by watching the BBC coverage. I’m sure that the bookies would pay big dollars for this hard to come by information. And on top of that we give a drug cheat half of the minimum sentence so that he can win games for us. Who was in charge of CA for most of this?

Cricket is like fishing – patience and hope, hope and hope. That’s what i like.

And Boer, given the present circumstances (a prolonged, unpredicatable drought, with climate change meaning that these might be more frequent) what is the non half arsede panic stricken reaction?

The scenario is: Melbourne has its present population. It hasn’t rained properly for many years, as the result of an unprecedent drought. How is the population of the city to be assured of water supply in the future, given that it can no longer rely on rain?

You may provide alternatives to any part of the problem.

As you rightly point out, the desalination plant is a half-arsed panic-stricken reaction by a society that has yet to learn to live within natural limits.

Boer, as I have asked you before, what are the ‘natural limits’ for Australia?

Post-European – about 3 million? More?

Until you quantify this figure, it’s hard to discuss the rest of your argument.

If you can’t quantify it, then continually making statements like the above is pretty meaningless, and just suggests you’ve got a kneejerk reaction to the subject without any real facts to back it all up.

I think you’re cleverer than that, so am mystified as to why you seem reluctant to talk numbers.

I thought Mumble was bizarre. It is indeed 55-45.

Psephos at 617:

Are you referring to that tedious European activity where they all run around in circles for two hours and never kick any goals or take any marks,

Didn’t know Fremantle was part of Europe…

“Turnbull wins back voter support”

…with a big smiling face of Malcolm. Do they seriously think that is a fair assessment of the latest poll?

It is what’s technically known as “Turd Polishing”, in both the Liberal’s and Limited News’s own conduct. Also they’re probably glad Michael Jackson’s death sucked any oxygen in Turnbull’s shenanegans with the Debt Truck etc.
