[Merv and Sharon]

Fully agree Les, but I remain suspicious about the contribution of desalination plants. My son is an environmental engineer and modeling of costs for the state government has shown that the unit cost is 10 times higher per liter than a dam - and you have no storage with desal. The number of new homes at the Sunshine Coast would seem to make a strong case for a new storage. My dad who grew up on the banks of the Mary violently disagrees!
