The word "precis" does not begin to cover how simplistic their analysis is.

Yeah I know. They have commissioned lots of stuff and are publishing, so they tell us, every last document that has informed their decision-making. This task is so huge. One committee not to be on, I would think. The stuff the MDBA is doing has not only not been done in Australian history - it has not been done anywhere else in the world. The only thing I can think of that may be comparable was Roosevelt's new deal and sending out the extension officers into the dust bowls of Texas and the like. The immensity of this project I don't think is taken into account by anyone - except mois. That's how it feels. This task could go on forever were one to cover every detail, research it, do community engagement on it, and so on ad infinitum. The politics is so hard, the history so intense and immense, the economics so entrenched, and the social fabric so interwoven to all of the former! This job would always have gaps. That's why I don't understand - if COAG is now involved in all our main water issues why there is not a more visible presence of state expertise in all of this. The additional personpower and resources is much needed, I would think!
