I cannot emphasise the danger of desalination plants enough. Just think about our entire Western coastline all of which is the home of our most valued industry, the WA Rock Lobster Fishing Industry.
South Australia is now thinking of a desalination plant to supply fresh water. They also have quite a large cray fishing industry, as well as scollops and abalone. These desalination plants are a certain death sentence to all fisheries. We need a lot more information and research to be done before going ahead with even one more plant. There is only one place I can think of in WA that could benefit from a desalination plant and that would be Shark’s Bay. They have a salt producing plant there and could pump the heavily salted waste water from a plant into their evaporation areas that would save a lot of time and produce salt faster.
The establishment of this Northern Pipeline would make desalination plants entirely unnecessary and save the rest of our very valuable and productive coastline from certain pollution.
Eventually the Polyethylene pipeline could also replace the old Kalgoorlie Pipeline, which has reached its use by date. The new poly pipe has a life span of 100 to 110 years. This pipeline can fill to overflowing all our major dams, flushing out the rivers below to eliminate the blue green algae growing in our river systems which have been a curse for years.
Just imagine, breathing new life back into those old country towns. The small businesses would flock back and so would people. Forget building more cities, they only produce traffic jams, pollution, crime and a lot more unwanted problems.
Let’s turn Australia rural again, where people can breathe fresh county air with plenty of employment close at hand. It was good for millions of Australians years ago. We would have happy farming communities once more producing products and their sons wanting to stay on working the farms because times are good again.
POLITICIANS, Remember THIS, both parties got thrown out of Government over this very same project, don’t let it happen again. Do this for AUSTRALIA. GET SERIOUS this time, remember one party will become the opposition. Leave all that B/S we see on parliamentary question time at home and think about working for AUSTRALIA. Work hard enough and you may end up back in again.
I am disgusted with our government’s behaviour and your bad decisions. Stop kissing China’s backside and make Australia work again and no more giving, leasing, or selling of businesses and infrastructure to foreign countries especially China. Time to turn Australia around. We have everything a country could want, so make it work.
Bring Australian businesses back to producing in Australia and cut the absolute dependency on China. But the biggest suggestion of all, stop trying to buy the next election. China has been allowed to export all that cheap crap to Australia, while our own businesses went broke, because they could not match China’s prices. Nobody can.
