PAVE PARADISE
Among Peter Garrett’s tips to “protect our precious environment”:
Have less lawn and more plants or paving - this reduces water usage.
More paving? If you say so, chief. Parking lots for Gaia! Mind you, water is useful in ways that don’t involve plants. More from Pete:
Grow your own food - start with herbs.
Good thinking. You don’t want to start with cattle or Chilean sea bass. Start with herbs, then work your way up.
Mind you, water is useful in ways that don’t involve plants.
This is why I recommend that those spraying the water also throw bars of soap at the whining hippies.

Missing in action on the Tassie pulp mill, he’s relaxing his larynx prior to winning the superior portfolio in greening and other things PC. Those large veins in his neck will return to pump the juices necessary to shout out the liberal opposition.
His less than mediocre mind will then become obvious to everyone except those in the Labor seat that shoehorned him in.
With the other way below par Labor performers voted in by an Australia that doesn’t make sense, Garrett will be feted by Parliaments around the world as some kind of hippy king.
Thank you everyone for allowing me this chance to throw a cow pad at the cretin from hell prior to sleeping on what looks like a gloomy end of year. Bonne nuit.
there’s a link to a video of the goose expounding on his tips on the kevin07 home page, as i pointed out http://timblair.net/ee/index.php/weblog/comments/king_of_glory/#290002yesterday. what do i have to do to get a hat tip round here? grumble grumble
This Garrett dunce has to be a serious embarrassment to the Labor party.
Some decrepit hippy in his 50’s, gobbing off about stuff he knows nothing about, allegedly supposed to be appealing to the “youth” vote.
Puhleeze.
When this fool becomes Minister for the Environment, watch the party apparatchiks ensure that he is only allowed out in public at places like Nimbin and Byron Bay, and is never, ever allowed to speak to real income producing businessmen or formulate any sort of Gaia worshipping policy off his own bat.
One good thing about the ALP is their caucus system that ensures that show ponies like Garrett are kicked firmly in the family jewels if they stray from the party line or upset the flow of ackers into the bank account.

The effect could not have been greater had the family’s precocious nine-year-old played a Chopin prelude perfectly for the visiting relatives after Christmas lunch.
And there we have Rudd’s China policy…

Kevni’s little “look at me, how clever I am, I can speak Mandarin” stunt won no points from the plebs. Imagine him down at my local. Mandarin would cut no ice. They all speak swahili by lunchtime.
#17
wonder if he greeted Hu with “Australia and China are enjoying simultaneous orgasms in their relationship,” this time
bit of a projection issue there, confusing himself with the country

I didn’t know such racism was allowed on this blog.

Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2007 09 06 at 09:31 AM • permalinkWhy install a pond when we should cover our pool or spa to save water?
Why try to minimise the watering needed but also attempt to maximise drainage?
Why plant Australian natives when the climate is changing? Surely many non-native plants will be better suited to a new climate.
Why grow our own food? A small vegetable patch must waste more water than large-scale operations run by professionals. And the plants in the patch won’t be the natives that Garrett recommends.

how many potted plants did Peter Paver pipe?Posted by eeniemeenie on 2007 09 06 at 09:48 AM • permalinkJust noticed that the reason to grow your own food is to reduce your carbon foot print. In that case, I recommend suckling at the breast of your female coworkers. That way, it’s permissible to work alone with them and it’s not your carbon footprint, it’s theirs!

Well done, Oz. Now where is the rest of the Anglosphere?
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2007 09 06 at 10:31 AM • permalinkHmmmm.
Grow your own food?
Has this idiot ever actually tried that?
Between bugs, rodents, rabbits and a host of other crap that you have to deal with farming is a real pain in the ass. Even having a garden can be a pain in the ass particularly if you have rocky soil when you have to sift through the soil to remove the rocks.
And all of this by hand to avoid hurting Gaia?
Screw that. I farm for my food. I farm in the supermarket. Anybody doesn’t like it can stuff it.
Posted by memomachine on 2007 09 06 at 12:21 PM • permalinkGrow your own food - start with herbs.
Speaking on behalf of the Socialist Herbmongers Coalition, we object in the strongest possible terms! Boycott Garrett’s music!
Posted by Harry Bergeron on 2007 09 06 at 01:06 PM • permalinkOK, we paved paradise, but the bastids wouldn’t let us have any cars for the parking lot…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 09 06 at 03:47 PM • permalinkParts of Melbourne were into paving decades ago. Pave entire front garden and paint it green. It’s known as ‘Greek lawn’.
Make or install a pond - except you’re not allowed to fill it because of the Green-induced water restrictions. Brilliant.

APEC’eeeeerrrrrs, here’s something for you about Australia…“Have less lawn and more (plants or) paving”
But, but, please Sir?
I thought that your fellow environmental fear mongers preach that the large quantity of concrete in buildings, slabs, pavings etc etc. concentrated round cities, towns and wherever humans congregate are significant contributors to global warmening because they absorbed so much of the heat of the sun. It is for this reason we are told that generally speaking temperature measures round such human “congregations” are a significant number of degrees warmer than over green areas: and lawn is green. So which is right to help the environment: more green grass or more concrete slabs and pavers?.
Posted by LaVallette on 2007 09 06 at 10:26 PM • permalinkHmm, I can’t believe nobody asked who sung the lines:
”And a carpark lay streched where the bindis used to be” like it was a bad thing?He needs to spend a little thyme with Basil and has bean such a leek not to know Basil needs so much water, his beans will do a runner to seed if too little moisture. Tom Ato also very thirsty little b—-er however Art Ichoke thrives in the dry and Chard will beet the silver out of you. Broc Coli great source of cheap protein , cooked in salt water all those little caterpillars make great additions to the pasta along with Basil who by now is decidedly wilted.
Ask Kevie about Broads he’s bean where the favvers are, along with some sweet peas who also wind round Poles when they should only stick with Australian Mandarins which need no water just 75% proof alchohol
Peter Garrett demonstrates once again that the left hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
If you live along the Murray River, you cannot grow anything because there is a complete ban on watering anything outside. Labor politicians made this decision.
It has been dry but the real cause of the the water shortage is a combination of Labor politicians refusing to build dams and Labor politicians, notably Neville Wran when he was NSW premier, selling drought busting water reserves.
Wran was so desperate to spend, spend and spend he tapped into cash reserves held by a swag of bureaucracies to fund future projects such as dams, power stations and highways. When his raiders reached the rural water supply department, all they found was millions of dollars worth of drought insurance - which Labor sold to cotton growers.
That is the real scandal in the present dry spell.
