    The weirdest thing is that we still won’t create more reservoirs after this because we just genuinely do not have the money. We’ve reached a point that the money just isn’t there to do things we need to do, but since the wheels haven’t come off the bus yet we can pretend it’s all fine.

      I’ll still never quite understand the concept of money at a national scale.

      We have shitload of unemployed people. We have showrooms full of tractors and diggers sitting doing nothing. We have space for what we need. We have supermarkets full of food and houses sitting empty.

      We have all the stuff that we need to get all the stuff that we need but we got no money to let any of it happen.

      Bizarre.

    We gotta get the new data centres built fast before the water can run out completely.

    Time is of the essence!
