Governments are hell-bent on making YOU pay more taxes to prop up their inefficiencies because they won’t release water to grow a decent rice crop. It’s a scandal.
They’d rather give up a good portion of $30b in tax revenue from cropping that they COULD receive if farmers had enough water to grow rice year. This is the fiscal contribution that COULD come from allowing farmers to farm, with the flow-on effects to help regional small business prosper.
Instead, the Albanese and Minns governments want farmers and small businesses to fail, and ordinary people to lose equity, or even their homes for an environmental ideology.
Where is the sense in this?
Other taxpayers are then expected to work harder and pay more tax to prop up the resulting social security drain! An example of how they intend to herd people into their “smart cities”?
It makes no sense. It is planned decimation of rural communities. Of Australia. It’s political bastardry.
Farrer MP David Farley has been calling for the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) to immediately release water for production, which farmers WOULD actually pay for, growing a rice crop which would keep businesses in towns profitable, and keep people in those towns.
Ridiculously, the government would be $30bn better off in taxes, which would take the tax burden off everyone.
Farley has urged the Albanese and Minns governments to act immediately to release enough CEWH water into the productive pool. It’s been falling on deaf or ideological, ears.
What is food security against ideology? It’s only understandable when you realise it’s planned destruction. Those pesky farmers have survived Lima, Agenda 21, and Paris so Albanese’s doing his bit to finish them off at the Paris/UN “climate change” altar.
Ground is prepped in hope, but rice must be sown right now or it won’t be sown. Seasons matter. Farmers can’t afford not to realize the highest return on their investment, so will grow another crop in favour of the food staple, rice. There’s not enough water to grow two crops because farmers are only allowed to use 45% of the water allocation they already pay for. Or, they might just sell water, then there is nothing to pass onto communities.
Considering our ridiculously expensive BOM was outed once more in The Australian (16/10/26) for fraudulent temperature record adjustments or “homogenization”, and the IPCC earlier this year ditched it’s RCP8.5 climate model saying it was “implausible”, the need for so much “environmental” water is seriously questionable.
Albo and Minns are impotent on this despite the orange wave of One Nation about to dump them head-first into the sand.
If water isn’t released immediately, towns and our Mum & Dad small businesses will be destroyed, there will be more job losses and people will lose their homes. They’ll lose the $30b tax revenue that the water release Farley’s called for would bring, and there’ll be more interest rises to cripple them.
They’ll DEFINITELY vote Orange then, because water policy is a scandal. But, at what price???
