I really mean that , and its a rare occasion for me to agree with Kokobut this time I do ,,, If the powers that be had listened to Ernie Bridge all those years ago, the west would have been fine ,and also others in the east who have advocated the same idea from Qld and the gulf   it would have all been done and well on the way to being paid for by now . and in my opinion whoever allowed cotton and rice to become established  should be in the home for the bewillered , without them I believe the rivers would still be flowing , albiet more slowly because of the long drought  Sadly the people we elect on any level seem to be incapable of accepting that anyone else could be right or have a better grip on what should be done than they have ,and so we lumber along achieving precious little,,,Someone insists on something , such as Perths Bell tower ,utterly B****y useless ,but a monument to the government of the day , and I,m sure the other side have done the same sort of grandios things in their   own honour .. Maybe if we elected people who lived in the real world instead of the rarified air of Yuppysville ,we would see some real work for the good of the nation
