Yeah, exactly DD! But then look at all the bullshit we have gone through just to be able to get tanks back into suburban back yards!!
And I can't help wondering, given just how much industry and irrigators are contributing to this water crisis, if all the pissy little savings that we make as individuals is really adding up to bugger all. I mean you've only got to drive through the city of an evening to see just how many lights are on. That can't be doing much good surely?
Yeah, I really think they need to wake up and make some real effort to encouraging people. But they just keep coming up with crap like nuclear power plants and recycled sewage as drinking water! :eek:
just imagine what will happen when they come up with the bright idea to privatise our water. see how quick they penalise all those people with rainwater tanks.
i'm not sure anbout recycled water, but it surely can't be any worse than drinking brisvegas water.
hear my name
take a good look

Hang on. What's wrong with recycled sewage as drinking water? I think we shold absolutely be recycling water, at the very least for industrial use.
I have a HUGE problem with recycling sewage for DRINKING WATER scubascott. I understand that the reverse osmosis is supposed to make it cleaner than our current drinking water, but I'm sorry I really can't see why we have to go down that path. When I think of the amount of fresh drinking water that was used to flush the Burnley Tunner here in Melbourne before they finally wised up that recycled would be just as good it makes my blood boil!! I have absolutely no problem with recycling water, do it now. BUT there are so many more alternatives that need to be investigated and long term outcomes of the practice of recycle sewerage for DRINKING before we actually commit to that. I think a bloody good start would be to make industry use recycled water just for starters. Seeing as they and the irrigators are the biggest users of water.

The suburb where my uncle lives in brisvegas does not get it's water from the main source, so they will not be suffering the forced recycled sewerage furphy that the rest of Brissy will have to deal with. His water is pretty good actually.
And cate, it was illegal here in Victoria to have a rainwater tank when they privatised the water, but they have since realised that the crisis is so bad, that they can't in good conscience justify us not having them. So now we are allowed to get them and even get a rebate for installing them.
Oh no, we all know that the only REAL country is the US of A! Right? The rest of us are just stupid savages.

there are signs on the doors of all the toilets at adelaide airport that read: Adelaide Airport Limited uses recycled water for toilet flushing DO NOT DRINK
slightly off topic but the recycled water thing reminded me of the signs, and the signs reminded me why i moved back to victoria.
if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up
speaking of the water situation, i was in western victoria this weekend just gone by and the rivers and damns out there look hideous... can't help but wonder how long this can go on for before it becomes a genuine crisis

in all honesty i wouldn't be drinking water from the toilet even if it weren't recycled.
and adelaide come on where do you think they dispose of all those dead bodies?

See, this was the answer I was looking for. Thanks cate!
Awww you too Scot! Ever heard of The Fillmore? You sure as shit belong there! Good luck!
Were you actually looking for an answer? I thought you were just being a tool.
Yes, we are an island, and a country. The continent includes the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania (which is an Australian state) and New Guinea (which isn't).

But New Zealand and Tansania have nothing to do with Australia right? It's an island, country and continent.

Are you really serious? Tell me you aren't serious.
Tanzania is in Africa. Africa is that big continent. It joins on to the middle east. You should have heard of the middle east before.
Tasmania is a state of Australia. New Zealand is a separate country, run by sheep.

pay attention.
the whole island continent of australia is one country. it also includes nuigini, which is several islands to the north of queensland( a state of australia)
tasmania is a state of australia. it too is an island and hangs off the bottom of the mainland under the state of victoria.
new zealand is some other place against whom we play rugby union and cricket and netball. it has nothing to do with australia.
and any more questions feel free to ask.

How about this. Maybe it will help you understand this very difficult geographical concept.
Australia = USA
Tasmania = Alaska or Hawaii
New Zealand = Mexico
Papua New Guinea = Canada
Make sense now?
