Acting PM, Australia applauds O'Brien's CopperString after 20 years of PM Rudd's national energy grid. I built the other grid line in two years, but humility precludes me from spotlighting such extraordinary achievement! Hughenden's owner-occupier thread irrigation, HIPCo, is scheduled for 16 other towns, which means half a million people into golden but empty Australia and untold prosperity for 5,000 farmer-contractor families. Will $30 million be budgeted for HIPCo to draw up tenders, or is it another 20 years?
