Comments:Australian treasurer declares that he is "a lot of fun"

""There has not been enough investment in dams, there has not been enough investment in pipes, in irrigation canals and I think we're going to have to look very, very carefully at desalination plants for our major capital cities," said the Australian Treasurer."

If you have a complaint about the state of the free market, see if there's a market for it. You don't have to take political action. Now if I could get some venture capitalists to go with me on building some desalination plants in Australia because I know they have water problems, that'd be ni-...oh wait, looks like the government would be planning to step it. Now I don't have investors. Sorry for the over-sardonic tone, I just get a little pissed with this type of thinking. Fephisto 17:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
