I think it is worth listening to the interview, with Professor Mike Young, broadcast on Radio National this morning (Monday 16th Feb 2009). (Breakfast with Fran Kelly). He is proclaimed as the advisor to Senator Xenophon in the Murray Darling deal.

An interesting analytical piece but I have applied a ruler to your graph (in the absence of figures on your axes) and it doesn’t suggest that ramping up the expenditure to the ten times 2007-2008 figures will push the price outrageously high, especially if you take account of the current economic environment which, presumably, though there may be special factors in the markets for irrigated produce, will tend to depress prices. Still, it is good to have this kind of attention to detail from commentators.
