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.
