Wet behind the ears on water- and most issues of environment

State Labor are experts at disaster management. See earlier posts . Their clones in the water authorities are ready for anything that looks like a disaster .
Floods this week in the northern rivers .
But don't give them or their myriad of water authorities a planning job - like diverting flood water to be stored for example. Normal things are not planned for -just extreme thoughts
John Brumby gives himself and his team a clap yesterday even though their planning outside of emergencies is complete crap .
Just closed down Lake Makoen and let the water go because they have a policy - but not one that takes in the most reasonable of environmental events - a flood.
Their environmental flow policy is not a policy . It gave someone a nice feeling of warmth at the time, but has only smelt bad and stunk ever since - but no one seemed to notice same till yesterday.
