Better to spend the money fitting rainwater tanks and plumbing gray water in metropolitan homes, rather than building coal burning desal plants and laying pipelines that draw water from the Murray Darling.

You don't know what are you talking about!!!??? High speed broadband to the home has to be one of the highest priorities at the moment. What are all these recently unemployed folks going to do in the ecconomic crisis. They'll need to be at home high speed surfing for porn, watching video on demand movies and making cheap phone calls.

I hope you can detect my sarcasm...
