PM should announce Bradfield Water Scheme for best chance of winning: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says that to win this election from behind, Prime Minister Scott Morrison needs to take some risks.\n\nMs Credlin is calling on the PM to announce he will build the Bradfield Water Scheme, or a variation thereof, for the best chance to win the election.\n\nThe scheme involves new dams on big rivers in northern Queensland and piping water under the Dividing Range into the western river system where it will eventually flow into the Murray-Darling.\n\nMs Credlin says Mr Morrison should set up a government commission with ‘can do types at the top’, so that undecided voters have ‘a real reason’ to vote Liberal.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n PETA Credlin trying to call the legitimacy of the upcoming vote into question, before it has even be held. auspol Um, not at this point. Right now his best chance is to lose the condescending smug attitude, become transparent with his policies and dump every MP who has faced corruption issues (Cormann, Michaela, Dutton and many more). This won't happen. What a lot of BS; it’s completely uncosted without even a feasibility study. PETA Credlin is critical of billshortenmp for his so called environmental plan but she is proposing an untested pie in the sky plan for a crumbling government auspol2019
