Re: Call to review project costs

“Green” mayoral candidate Dennis Walls’ solution to Cairns’ looming drinking water crisis is home rainwater tanks, which has already been tried and has failed, (Call to review project costs, 08/01).
In the early 2000s the Queensland government gave rebates of up to $1500 for rainwater tanks, but only to those who owned homes: tenants and unit-owners missed out.
Filling these tanks from roofs in developed areas was problematic as pollutants such as metals, microorganisms, brake dust, and diesel particulates, were concentrated in the tanks.
Without proper filtration, an additional layer of expense, the water from suburban rainwater tanks caused health problems, so the rebate scheme was closed in 2008.
The Cairns Council’s Mulgrave aquifer scheme is dependent on electricity for pumping and filtration at a time when the green-left Labor-Liberal twins are determined to rid us of cheap reliable power.
The best way to get drinking water without electricity dependence is by capturing water naturally filtered by the pristine rainforest in the hills behind Cairns and delivering it using gravity.
New dams on Flaggy Creek, Davies Creek, and the upper Mulgrave would give Cairns sweet clean cheap reliable water for many decades – but the Labor-Liberal twins won’t let that happen.
The problem isn’t a lack of dam sites or a lack of water or a lack of money – it’s the bloody-minded anti-humanist obstructionism of the green-left Labor-Liberal twins and their globalist greenie mates.
