The most recent one is the Prime Minister's reaction to the dire situation regarding climate.

He insists that "technology not tax" is the solution.

Given recent tardy actions relating to vaccine rollouts to vulnerable people and supply generally, belated action regarding Afghanistan, slow action regarding the culture in parliament, secret trials, failure to bring about a federal corruption commission, I suggest that a suitable slogan would be "Too little too late".

Shame on Wagga City Council staff for recommending that council reject a request from the Edel Quinn shelter to waive their annual bin fee for this year.

Due to higher demand and increasingly less finances because of COVID, this help has been asked for from the shelter manager.

Let's hope and pray that our current councillors have bigger hearts than some of their staff. Surely we can at the very least make this small contribution towards helping the homeless in our city's midst?

I would like to congratulate those who have continuously questioned the Inland Rail project, and now have a report vindicating their concerns.

I read a comment from NSW CWA chief executive Danica Leys, who said: "The project has become a basket case of mismanagement and budget blowouts, combined with a total unwillingness from the project proponents to listen to community concerns."

Well, I'd say: "Welcome to the world of water management."

The only difference is that we haven't had budget blowouts, because even our bureaucracy hasn't been able, at least to this point, to blow the $13 billion it was handed under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Mind you, what we have had is a massive waste of taxpayers' hard-earned money.

But we have had "a basket case of mismanagement" and "a total unwillingness to listen to community concerns".

And I would suggest that those who have welcomed the Senate inquiry report that highlights the failures of the Inland Rail project don't get too carried away in their hope for a change of direction.

They have called on the federal government to act on recommendations made in the report.

Sorry, but if the government wants to bury the report and ignore all its findings, that's what will happen.

If you want proof, look no further than the 2015 Senate inquiry into the basin plan, which handed down more than 30 recommendations, all of which have been ignored.

Only recently Water Minister Keith Pitt again told us how the government was going to complete the basin plan "on time", despite communities screaming from the rooftops about its failings.

I'm just glad he wasn't put in charge of building a bridge, because if you follow his line of thinking he would barge ahead to get it finished 'on time', even if the civil engineer in charge said it would collapse under the weight of the first truck.
