fuck me you are dense for an orange haired virgin

Edit: from camden no less, is your mum a friesian cow?

but my hair is brown and i've sexed at least 2.5 people broheim.

head back to condobalin, play your banjo and eat some wheat you inbred hick.

did you guys kno that you can replace water hungry rice with other farms like fruits because fruits use less energy like oranges and water and i think this is good because water is scarce and only dumb cunts from place like deni are still farming rice because they are behind the time and this is bad because it means less water for us and water is good.

Rice has no subsidies surprisingly.

Australia sells $10 million worth of rice domestically annually, vs $40 million for exports. It sells in Japan, EU, USA, in the face of very high tariffs.

idk, there could be something I'm missing, but it seems better than many other domestic farming industries. I can't see libertarian economics would have prevented the environmental disaster that is rice in Australia. Putting a market price on water might make a difference. Though if rice was absent, in a free market, some other water intensive industry would fill the gap.

Yes it would make a huge difference to all water intensive industries.

There is a price on water?

There is a price on water?

Yes, it's a scare commodity. But because many waterways are owned by the PUBLIC, the GOVERNMENT CRIMINALS allow farmers to use it extremely cheaply.

If it was privatized, water would be more expensive, and thus would be rationed more efficiently.

 

[David Spade]

oh lol no that wasnt a question sorry.

Im not sure about privatisation but some regions out here have private water, not for irrigation though. Irrigation is handled by catchment management authority and irrigation licences are pretty expensive. Obviously a lot cheaper per Kl than domestic water services though.

The point is we don't know until we let the market do its thang.
