mirror man cant even get water to victorians nor be prepared for when it rains alot! but yes im sure he will find some way to $crew over the project, good to see the federal govt has gotten on board and will get it done for us 
i want to be under the sea, i breath my air by the tank !.
so far 80+ dives and trying to get more every week or two.
lets face it the bay is the best dive site until, now, brumby buggers it up! NO to dredging! no matter which person leads the State.
