why do you think it's a shit idea?

that guy in the vid is a tosser!!

if its gonna fix the water crisis i dont see it as a shit idea.
and if its not gonna make water bills go up then i dont see it as a shit idea.
but whos going to listen to one bloke u would need engineers and all sorts to prove that it will work not just one bloke.
cheers josh.

his humor reminds me of UK top gear, just needs a bit of practice, but then UK top gear had crap humor early on as well

Holmsy, I don't think you are going to get many people agreeing with you on this one. It sounds like a great idea to me.

It's a shame that the political parties had to be mentioned as the reason why it hasn't been looked into further but I think it is probably the biggest reason and that makes it relevant. As he pointed out the current government has too much invested in the desalinisation plant to do a 180 now.

it almost sounds too good to be true. as if they wanted to ignore it for some reason. If it has all these perks why wasn't the Tassie government advertising in vic to get this very point across hence affect public opinion?

I wonder if he is hiding some major flaw in the entire plan...

It looks good to me

Only thing I wonder about is the whole 'water moving by itself' thing. I obviously have NFI about that sort of shit but I dunno if 200m vertical height is enough to push water through a 360km long pipe....?

Every day I just hate politicians more and more.

Water is weird rollin, if it has fall and enough pressure( I.e builds up) it will flow whereever the fukk it wants.

too many pollies with their investment $$ tied up in recycled poop? *pun intended*... wouldnt suprise me if that is the real reason this was overlooked, not enough $$ in it for individuals.

Honestly I think it looks like a great idea, it deserves being looked into further for sure

I remember hearing about this option years ago.
its deffinately not a new idea.

Even if it isn't a new idea, the others are just retarded.

regardless... it'd be nice if something did happen.

but australians suck at standing up for something they beleive in/want.
