The station could run for decades , but what about the grid ? It needs maintainance and I would give it a few years before something somewhere happens to the cable on it ' s hudred ' s of kilometers long journey . Ideally you would LIVE in the Hoover Dam . <| sep |> For all the posturing and defense the other Liberal MP ' s have done over this . This is a massive step over the line . For years and years we keep hearing a new George Brandis story every 12 weeks . Can this please be the final straw that breaks the camel ' s back so to say . This has been going on for far far to long and the lack of any action from both Prime Ministers while Liberal has been in power shows they have no inclination to show respect for the people or for the rule of law . If Brandis is still around at the next election I expect this to be brought up to demonstrate how much incompetence a Liberal Prime Minister will put up with and look the other way . The Australian people expect a better standard from our elected officials . This . Is . A . Disgrace .
