'Dam-phobic' QLD govt 'planning to do the worst thing it could do': Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky 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”. \n\nMs 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. \n\nQueensland’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. \n\n“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. \n\n“But rather than wait for these experts to report, the Palasczuk government is fast-tracking plans to adjust the spillway”. \n\nMs Credlin said she locals are “fearing” the Labor government will use this opportunity to take a “preemptive strike to permanently cut the dam's capacity by as much as 40 per cent”. \n\n“Which is madness in a dry continent like ours”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia im sorry the what? 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 Yay lets dig holes and cross our fingers that it rains. 🤦

'Shenanigans are over': Nationals assure party is 'back to business' | Sky News AustraliaMichael McCormack has survived a leadership challenge by Barnaby Joyce after the former leader mounted a frenzied, but ultimately unsuccessful, campaign to take back his old job. \n\nA spill for the leadership was called on Tuesday morning after Bridget McKenzie’s resignation as deputy leader created a vacuum for Mr Joyce to challenge for the top job. \n\nDavid Littleproud was elected as the former deputy's successor after fending off challengers David Gillespie and Keith Pitt. \n\nFollowing the announcement, Mr McCormack said his party was moving forward as a united front, and promised his party was focused on delivering for Australia’s regions. \n\nThe leader of the Nationals said he did not expect another move from Mr Joyce in the near future, insisting “I’ve shook hands with Barnaby and we’re going to move on”. \n\nNew deputy leader David Littleproud also assured Australians it was 'now back to business”. \n\n“The shenanigans are over, it's time to get back to looking after those people that are facing drought,' he said. \n\n'It's time for us to focus on them, not us.' So are the Nats. A once great party, now a shallow husk.

Regional Australia has the most low, middle income families, pensioners and the most vulnerable YET Nationals continue to side with liberals attacking their own base. Anyone game enough to open a book on how long McCormack will last? He can't survive as leader of a party in which 10 of the 21 members don't want him as leader. His position is untenable. I say he'll be out within a month.
