But I used to always think about the farmers and stuff like that and they never had enough water.

It always seemed like Australia was in drought all the time.

So I used to come up with these fantastic ideas about creating these giant sails that could catch rain and all these childish children ideas.

But then as I grew as an adult,

I kept this creativity in my mind.

You know what everyone's talking about?

Okay, so let's play the role of global warming, right?

You understand, you've been out to North East before.

If you fill a glass up with ice cubes and put the drink in it, it fills up, right?

If those ice cubes melt, the glass doesn't overflow.

So melting the polar ice caps, the volume's already in the ocean, yeah?

Okay, but for all the people out there that are more scientific than me, they're going to shout me down and say, no, that's not how it works, you're an idiot.

Go back to shooting guns, fine.

However-

Down in Wyala and Port Augusta, it's not far from here, I'm sure, there's like defunct steel mills and stuff like that.

I'm not an engineer, but when we were talking about before about converting cane operations into ethanol operations for the fuel situation, can we retool an old steel mill or at least use the framework to turn it into a national –

infrastructure project by way of the biggest desalination plant this world has ever seen to then offset this this global warming to fix the hydration problem we have in australia to create this a massive massive agricultural food bowl like the world has never seen mate let's do that

You know, I'd be happy to have some rice burners come out here and work those farms, man, because it's all going to go back.

Australia produces so much food every year that it basically goes to waste or they send it offshore.

You've got people starving or not being able to afford food in this country.
