Bugger off Kevin. You're a wanker and I never voted for you.

as I said before and I'll say it again... these days it doesn't seem to matter who is in government, when it comes to corporate profits they are all the same.

Personally I can't believe he actually said that...

... I had great hopes for Kevin 07. But so far he seems to be wrecking up a track record or becoming the worst prime minister in Australian history.

just had another thought... now might be the right time to get the media involved to create public awareness of what's happening.

Issues that come to mind:

- how will this development impact the environment
- how will it impact the lobster industry
- was the purchase of the land and planning of the project all sound (and legal)
- to what level is this and Australian project vs a project owned by a foreign corporation
- what will the impact on local tourism be

If only Charles Bud Tingwell was still here; to fight the case for dincum aussie bloke.
RIP

Kevin 07...... Blows in and blowed out .............. Oh it was to windy and wild to be bothered to visit the site , it would have been a perfect opertunity to see the power and wild storm plus huge huge huge logistical task of developing such a location and see the swell pownding the area of the proposed safe nucular ? deep water port.


All Barnett and Rudd did was hold hands at the port authority balcony in town just pissing in the 20-30knots wind for 10 mins looking at the Geraldton harbour watching a boat smashing up against the break wall.

Things to come ??????????? More than likely

The Communitys pristine back yard will eventually turn to a grave yard.
Where the hell is Peter Garrett ...........what a kevin dud.

The staged.........media releases building it up /talking it up / and one liners about this development go on.

PS all on the back of the fact they BARNETT / DUD FAILED TO TELL EVERYONE THEY CARNT EVEN GET THE POWER REQUIREMENTS THERE.????????????

Like backing a flogged horse .......... you want to have deep pockets to through money at it.

The location stinks and so is the fact your tax payer dollars are paying for the idea to export everything to china for them to stock pile ?

Garrett has always been a complete FW, his only claim to fame is he can sing, woopie doo da bloody day. And I bet Rudd would have been the sort of kid every one wanted to smack around the ear hole, cos I do. But I digress, sorry.

Agree with most of the above, but it seems like a done deal.

So of the 1500km (?) or so of windy coastline north of Perth what percentage has reasonable access for wind/kite surfing? How much of it has never been checked out? Any estimates?

Environment wise the earth is better off burning uranium rather than coal. Wasn't it practical to rail it down to an existing port and ship it out from there?

i agree formulanova.

the media releases when he went from the greens to labor was that he did it so he had more of a chance of making a difference.

Rudd and co came to sth aus for a group session with Rann and co to announce extra 100mill to double capacity of proposed desalinator,twice as much brine into the gulf which all enviromental studies state has potential to severly impact on marine enviroment.The gulf doesnt have massive water movement,unlike sthn ocean--possibly better site.

Our state gov is ignoring enviromental studies and rudd is chipping in for applause too.
Politicians should be held criminally responsible if they f#%^ up badly..
..if i chop down a tree with a metre girth i will be fined heavily

..if rudd and ranns desalinator destroys part of our gulf they should be criminally responsible....this would make them nut the problem through first and come up with plausible solutions..

Rudd is becoming a pain Aus wide,,,he and Rann are very good spin doctors.
20-30knts all weekend here

Bugger off Kevin. You're a wanker and I never voted for you.

its always the same, 8-12 years for liberal to save up the money and 17 months for Dudd to spend it

You would have had to be blind or very gullible to not see he was full of **** before he was elected

i wonder what its going to be like for "The working Australians" for the next 10 years paying back all this debt i hope you all bought something nice with the $900 bucks to remind yourself of Duddy

Hes just a very good salesman selling expensive crappy products that will bite him in the arse at the next election

cant wait for the next election to see the back of him!!!

Are you guys aware of what is happening to other economies around the world? Do you realize that we aren't immune from what other economies do? Some places are suffering pretty badly.

The Liberal party might be making a big song and dance about spending at the moment, but any political party worth electing knows that the only way to cushion the impact of the global recession is to spend. You can guarantee that they would do the same thing if they were in power (well at least I hope so).

I don't mind that we will be paying off the debt this creates for the next ten years. I prefer having to do that than sitting on the dole for the next 2 years. I would rather everyone have a job and do it tough for a while than some people having a job and others losing a lot.

It is an interesting point you make about the Liberal party 'saving money', and the Labor party spending it. Do you realize 'how' they save that money?

FWIW I didn't get $900, but I can see how giving it to a lot of people is at least an attempt to stimulate spending. Much better than keeping it in the bank.

Anyhow isn't politics verboten from the forum? Let's discuss religion instead...

just keep drinking that cool aid the politicians are feeing you...

Sadly when you are talking about a major project like Oakagee you have to talk politics...

It's Kool-Aid they are selling me! Mmmm raspberry!

I would be interested to hear other ways of dealing with a global recession though.

I think Oakagee would happen regardless of which political party was in power (except maybe the Greens). There is just too much money at stake. I agree that it's a shame that they didn't pick a spot that wasn't a good sailing spot.

Substitute any major political party and there would be no difference.

It's good to see though that no one here has claimed yet that Labor has created the recession

If you fell for a crap slogan like "Kevin 07" and you thought a stunted little half man that looks like Tintin was a good guy for Prime minister and you voted accordingly. You can't really complain now can you ?

Krudd was even telling the gold coasters not to go surfing on Sunday cause it was "big and dangerous" - the most dangerous thing Krudd has ever done was to be photographed without access to his hairdryer. Bet he's got a handshake like a bunch of soggy celery - the mans a freaking joke.

I enjoyed the 900 bucks Krudd gave me but won't enjoy the tax pain it's going to cause us for the next ten years - Jokagee - mindless bastards - what will we do when we run out of minerals - we don't make anything anymore, haven't got a sewing machine left in the country - couldn't put crystal radio set together and can't even manufacture products from the minerals we take out of the ground cause our multi national companies say it costs too much to pay fair wages to australians and meet some pretty shabby environmental standards - so get it made in china - the savings will cover the 20% of recalls cause they make sh**T - take mattel that fed our kids lead paint in 2006 on the cars, the baby milk scandels that killed children etc . we sell LPG to japan for something like 10 dollars a mega litre and pay 32 dollars to fill a 9kg gas bottle so we can BBQ some meat - thank god that was grown in Australia and then we drink beer from some foreign owned brewery. Something just isn't quite right in our backyard

what thery're doing to that spot really pisses me off - and I can imagine you local boys and girls are breathin fire!!

It's ok I will take my medication now

Lets hope it doesn't stuff up Corro as well.

The WA EPA in its 2007 Environmental Review and Management Programme review (see http://www.epa.wa.gov.au/docs/829_B866.pdf) stated at Section 3.14 (p 25) that (my underlining):

'... a computer modelling study of the potential impacts on the wave breaks (MP Rogers and Associates 1997b) ...indicated that Spot X would be lost as a recreational area for windsurfers under the northern port option, however, the wave breaks at Coronation Beach would not be affected.'

I wonder how this can be if Oakajee affects the sand movement into the Coronation Beach area? Wouldn't it work to scour the sand out of the Corro area?
