FFS can't anyone snip?

Like hell it is. Have fun explaining where the wheat is grown, which
just happens to be one of the world's largest wheat exporters.

There is in fact a bigger area suitable for growing oil than in the whole of western europe.


You'll find if you dig around a little that
- Most of the country is too dry for these crops
- Most of the rest is already under agriculture
- Almost all the remainder is monsoon climate.

Or do have another explanation for all the expense of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_Mountains_Scheme and the periodic
wheat harvest failures due to drought?

It doesn't surprise me that Rod is so thick he doesn't even know about
the desert in his own country, let alone the insane economics of fuel
crops.
