Cost of water per Ml(Megalitre):

Farmers on Murray $980

Adani $27

How good is this?

How can the driest continent on the planet, during extreme and extended drought, just gift such big subsidies to smugly fossil fuel mafia?

Of course, with exemption from payment this, royalty on coal, diesel excise etc etc etc, Adani is given $20Million licence for 60 years unlimited water. Adani say no more than 12,500 Ml/year.

($20M / 12500) / 60 = $27 per Ml

PS if you check household cost of your water, you find $3 or so per kl, which means you pay $3000 per Ml v Adani less than $30.

Can we expect outcome claiming coal, oil and gas will be made clean?

But will Angus now be into foreplay with his big stick and preparing big subsidies to prevent Portland Aluminium shutting down?

Could Portland have been attractive for decentralisation if it hadn’t been so dominated by Alcoa?
