"Desert Remains Desert"
When all is said and done, Australia is a desert with but a rim of land suitable for settlement, Despite the ever flowing, heroic optimism of our Australian neighbours in the past, desert remains desert. It is unfortunate that the Australians have shown a reluctance -such a stubborn refusal-to recognise the inevitability of drought. They assumed that drought was an exceptional visitation, This has shaped and irtfected both public and official policy. It has cost a lot of money.(Kenneth Cumberland, in "Microphone Roundtable,’ 3YA, May 8)
