Steven, like the Romans back in the 4th century, I'm sure the majority including our political leaders don't know what's just around the corner perhaps within their lifetimes. You just need one key resource to become limiting such as as oil or phosphate and the whole system collapses. I'm sure the Romans thought they were going to continue indefinitely but they weren't facing resource limits then. It's a bit like the frog in the boiling water.

Hey John ! ponder on this ! Melbourne is now part of the Murray-Darling-Basin . Well with the north-south-pipe up and going Melbournians can grow their own food . I can see it now Obi-Wan-Ker and Never-oncer a supporter trying to grow Bananas and peanuts and Arrowroot. I am sure they can buy a big enough ladder to pick the pea-nuts out of the trees in Garden-Ville

I am sure that agriculture is worth more to the economy than the lawn mowing industry

Never-once-a-supporter, I understand the food production in Australia currently feeds around 50 million people. With forecasts of 35 million population before mid century and your's and NVI's policies to reduce irrigated food production in favour of Melbourne's lawns and gardens, perhaps you'll have to get used to eating all that grass since the 9 billion on the rest of the planet may also be looking for a bite to eat by then but with no phosphate fertilizers or oil to help produce the food. In the same vein, what do your Garden Vale petunias taste like?

Just think of all those Melbournians growing long grass with water from the Goulburn River. Then again, I guess some people make their a living out of cutting it for them. Every negative has a postive.
