In your face, Tim Flannery.

Same in Sydney.
I was actually in favour of it as insurance.
I still think it was a good idea, at the time.
The desalination plant was actually being used here last summer, and they were in the process of expanding it.
I'm not sure if they started or were just in the planning stage.
They are also predicting this summer will be comparatively cold, due to the "La Nina" weather conditions.
Tim's face must be red, in his property on the coastline.

We also had an area reserved for a future dam for Melbourne on the Mitchell river, which would have been cheaper, and produced more water that the desalination plants, but our Labor government (in their "wisdom") decided that buying more union votes was better "value" than saving money or putting in a better alternative...One of the claims at the time was that there wasn't enough rain to suport the dam, shortly thereafter followed by major flooding of the river.

To be fair Tim is an palaeontologist who is technically no more qualified than Greta Thunberg or Peter Garrett to debate climate change. He was been appointed chief commissioner of the Australian climate council due to his public profile rather than his expertise.

Diversity of water sources is good, it improves flexibility and gives more options should something unpredicted happen.

I didn't have a problem with the desal plants.
But as Brictoria mentioned, there are "better/cheaper options in the form of dams.
The trouble is, the greens, in particular, and Labor are against it.
I believe this obstinance is being overcome through necessity.
Political ideology is the bane of our lives.

The desalination plant was built in coastal Victoria which current global warming models suggest will receive more rainfall than normal and if it doesn't will be underwater as its built on the coast (oh the irony).
And so will Tim Flannery's coastal residence, I believe.
When he bought it, after prices dropped, it raised quite a few eyebrows.

Yeah it's interesting to see what Tim and Barak do with their coastal properties?

Oh right! yep that was the climate at the time but it didn't make much difference, everytime carbon emissions got mentioned the labor party ended up playing musical chairs.
