two years. As you indicate, much of the urban water shortage is down to not building enough storages ( nimby and "eco" politics mainly) and our (sub)urban arrangements which are resource profligate ( water, energy, capital, space etc) and banal to live in. As for the rest of your anecdotes, that is all they are , data points that are overwhelmed by the full sample of groupthink evidence. You left out precipitating the NT Intervention for example which, with some of your other examples only indicate how poor the ABC's form has become on average. It used to be that the sort of stuff you note was typical. Hell, your examples don't even make up for the vile, intolerant , racist and sexist vomit that comes over on Q&A without so much as a "you naughty boy/girl" from Tony Jones ( oh, sorry, we'll just take that as a comment and breeze right along). Alpo: 14 Jun 2012 10:20:15am ursus, if you get upset each time a not-pro-Liberal program appears on the ABC, and get relaxed each time a pro-Liberal program appears on the ABC, you are creating in your mind a biased memory, where the upsetting events are retained, wheres the relaxing events are soon forgotten... hence your perception of bias. Think about it. To research any bias claim you have to adopt a more rational stance. ursus augustus: 14 Jun 2012 2:55:23pm Alpo, I wouldn't relax very often then if I was dumb enough to watch ABC TV
