"The federal government is set to provide $566.1m over 10 years towards deploying geoscientists to map Australian resources and deliver data, maps and other tools for the resources industry.

It is part of a plan to find new deposits for minerals and sources of energy under the Future Made in Australia policy.

The investment, which will be part of next week’s budget, will be led by Geoscience Australia.

It will include mapping all of Australia’s groundwater systems, with the aim of acquiring a deeper understanding of potential resources.

It will also map offshore areas of Australia in a bid to find sites for carbon capture and storage, and possible sites for clean hydrogen projects.

The program will also support regional communities, farmers and First Nations peoples to manage their land and water resources, and be more informed about potential mining projects."



Now - you ask why this is not in 'environment' etc - well - because - simply put - it segues into a number of other controversial arenas doing the rounds.....

Ooooh - that Flanders!!  "First Nations peoples to manage their land and water resources" .... and what might those be once his treaties are fully imposed over the rest of us?  They're demanding control of water as one bit - and land and resources ... and they want the whole lot to be given the title of 'theirs' ....

Well - as I said - there is nothing to negotiate in a set of demands - and certainly the majority are not going to just give it all up ... accept unconditional surrender to bullying from a minority and their own government.....
