I agree with you that they are trying to lay a guilt trip on Australians about using water. But I also think there is some sort of agenda, like getting us to pay huge amounts for a scarce resource. Maybe privatisation of water and it would be a terrific way for water companies to make big money. And all the hype about global warming being responsible for changing weather patterns is just a cover story so people won't wake up to the possibility of weather control. see http://www.alienobserver.com/files/text/weather.html� Scalar Electromagnetics and Weather Control > We are all going to pay and the quality of our lives will lower. > > Desalination is possible but at a great cost.
