Australia's Rivers of Blood

The Liberals looked at the Aral Sea and thought they could do better. They are selling away our very life essence.

    Yep MAD MAX does not seem that dystopian when you think water is more precious than oil. Reminds me of controlling "the spice melange" in the Dune Series. The human race is shit when we divide people not just by race but also by countries, and those countries then divide and bicker and fight over resources that should be fairly and equally shared by all in a renewable fashion. As time goes on the more my views have been radically changed in these matters. I feel sorry for future generations.

    Hemp uses 1/3 the water of cotton and grows quicker. Not only that but hemp can be used to make about 10 products from the 1 plant in the one harvest. If we grow hemp instead of Cotten we wouldn’t be destroying rivers the way we are at the moment.

I suspect that the longer-serving bandits like mario bruz are also the most shameless and probably score the highest paid gigs after office.

I would be assuming that if this level of environmental damage was being done in the states there would be more talk about it. Though I'm now having doubt; considering areas not really paid attention to like the great plain states.

Essentially, if you can make more money from it now than it's worth in the future you're allowed to bulldoze it. They're actually teaching you that money is the most important thing... it's just evil.

    Mr. Jordies, There are sealed roads and rail networks that connect Australia, which could be considered quite the achievement due to Australia seeming to have more middle of nowhere than anybody else but I digress. I've lived up north and experienced my share of wet seasons. Surely I'm not the only one asking, why aren't or why hasn't "industry" used the north's Wet Season inundations, that happen consistently annually, and direct that fresh water south. Curious to see what a video with your take on that question would look like. Keep up the outstanding work good sir. Two thumbs and two big toes up.

    There used to be a Soviet bioweapons lab on an island in the middle of the sea, it’s now right in the centre of where it dried up. When the Soviet Union collapsed they didn’t dispose of the contents of the lab properly. As a consequence there’s now live anthrax bacteria and rotten corpses infected with god knows what in the soil there. These people are in a real life version of Fallout and they still have a higher life expectancy. Appalling!

    Hey mate. I would ask anyone to visit Willcania. The problem has been for far longer than the water crisis that it is a lawless violent town full of criminals. I've nearly been robbed there twice and only been there twice. The police station, general store and pub were burnt down afew years back. There is nothing left but afew houses if you could call them that. Trip advisor advises not to go there aswell. It's like Bourke10 years ago but worse. Women will lay on the roads to stop cars so others can Rob them. The kids steal from your car if you leave it unattended. The water crisis is not good but Willcania needs much more than water. It's a scary town I wouldn't recommend anyone visits ever.

    We have done it to ourselves, our parent's mistakes in being led to believe the lies the Libs and Nationals propagated. Instead of attacking these very real issues, our current generation is too busy fighting each other over the date of Australia day and whatever else. If we actually pushed hard and stopped this corruption we would all be better off, the real insult to 1st Nation people is happening right now with their water sources being stolen. I like to say "oh I was born here and I personally didn't steal anything the past is the past"...but then this happens and it makes you sick to your stomach. Pity our parents allowed themselves to be disarmed by Howard in '96 so we couldn't lead a much needed political coup in NSW.
