Sky News host Peta Credlin says the “dam-phobic” Palaszczuk Labor government is planning on doing “the last thing” that should be done in the middle of one of the worst droughts the nation has experienced in “generations”. Ms Credlin said the Palaszczuk government is planning to spend taxpayers’ money to “turn a big dam into a small one” in a bid to appease her left-wing deputy Jackie Trad.
Queensland’s Paradise Dam needs significant repairs due to damage sustained in devastating 2013 flooding, however the premier is considering alternate options to rush plans to address the issue. “Right now, there's a Commission of Inquiry into the dam … looking at what repairs need to be done, how much they'll cost and how long they'll take,” Ms Credlin said. “But rather than wait for these experts to report, the Palasczuk government is fast-tracking plans to adjust the spillway”.
Credlin should consider damming her giant head. Could power a small city.
And she’ll still increase QLD rates to ensure she can pay herself an additional significant yearly pay rise as always.
Those who fail to plan, plan to fail! AKA Qld Labor.
Not to mention selling water rights to foreign countries. What an awesome idea.......
Yay lets dig holes and cross our fingers that it rains. 🤦
More dams are the simplistic 'solution' for the imbeciles who vote for the COALition Maybe stop growing rice and cotton and stealing water Maybe put a meter on every pump Maybe use pipes instead of open drains watergate
im sorry the what?

Govt defends sport rort saga by hitting back at 'hypocritical' Labor | Sky News AustraliaLabor has used Senate Question Time to further prosecute the government over the controversial sports grants programme and the auditor-general’s finding that the Coalition splashed cash in marginal seats. \n\nWhen asked about the controversy, both Senate leader Mathias Cormann and Sports Minister Richard Colbeck used the ‘reverse pork-barrelling’ defence that Bridget McKenzie lifted funding in Labor electorates. \n\nMinister Cormann claimed Labor should be “grateful” for the intervention and be proud of the programme. \n\nBoth Mr Cormann and Minister Colbeck hit back at Labor, and claimed their line of questioning was hypocritical, considering a 2010 auditor-general report which found an aspect of Labor’s fiscal stimulus program favoured Labor-held seats. \n Even when caught these LIARS can’t admit it. RORT after RORT and a slap on the wrist after an investigation by Liberal Staffers clears them FFS ScottyFromMarketting CrimeMinister This Liberal Government is horrible. KICK THIS MOB OUT 🤦🏻♂️
