I'm with you stinky. Lawns are an incredible waste of time. Just think of all those sprinklers getting the lawn green so someone can come along and mow it down again. I think they look ridiculous and personally think everyone should replace their lawns with chilli plants.

As for Desalination. The Politicians should cut down on their extravagant tax-paid lunches and the like and that should easily fund water tanks for everyone in Sydney. Seriously, the government should be providing water tanks to all Australian homes. I am sure they can find the funding for it somewhere. What Australia needs is a good and honest accountant to go and see where all of Australia's tax-payer money is going. I am sure it is going to useless endeavours.

For example. When I lived down in Victoria a couple of years ago the local council commissioned an artist to build a metal sculpture to put outside of the council offices. It looked absolutely ridiculous. It looked like a squashed basketball on a pole. They paid this idiot $25000 for this monstrosity, another $2500 to put in a concrete footing and another $5000 to transport it from the artist. I wrote a letter of complaint to the Mayor(a rather nasty one) who sent back a letter saying she was sorry I did not like it!!!

Another such occurance from the same council was when they were sending some of the politicians to another country(about a dozen I think) for some cooked up diplomacy meeting. They bought them brand new digital cameras to take with them and keep afterwards with tax-payer money. And, these were not Kmart jobs, they were really good digital cameras.

If Australia cracked down on this sort of rubbish Australia-wide, we would have such a sur-plus of tax-payer money they could fund water tanks Australia-wide and also reduce taxes.

In Conclusion,

POLITICIANS ARE THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
