Sirs,

I am afraid those people have only themselves to blame for their predicament + of course the crass ignorance of their own leaders.
None indeed in that article nor in related articles about the drought is referring to abominable agricultural malpractice of those people over the 100 years since Australia was settled : This is the Ringbarking through whole forests of native trees holding the soil and indeed generating by capillarity some stability of rain pattern have been systematically eradicated.
As holder of a commercial pilot licence which I used only on personal voyages I have flown over millions of acres of Australia land, where the poor dying or already dead trees where holding their arms toward heaven in a mute prayer of despair ... I sincerely at times had tears in my eyes contemplating such willing massacre ... as the one of the Kangaroos being culled by 1 000 at the time + wild camels & wild horses having suffered from determined genocide in the past

That land of Australia has been mismanaged and I will tell you why too : Through Greed and overgrazing + overpumping the water table resources... then as a consequence leading to the depletion of the arable land dying for fault of moisture rising to its level from the more and more deeper underground water !!!
Now all those people are whining and moaning but none to my knowledge is saying : Sorry ! Our Land is dying because of our bad husbandry of God's Gift which as fools we used until the parched field and the dead paddocks can produce no more !

Thank you for reading my mail and it pains me indeed to see such a beautiful country at one time run to ground by people who believe that agricultural land should have return and have no feeling nor love in their dry heart for the vegetal nor the animal kingdom. The dryness of their heart as said is reflecting now in the scenery and going soon to impact as well the geography ...ref sea rise !

Yours faithfully
