Turnbull-Rudd spat - KRudd to blame for SEQ drought ...

The Wolfdene Dam gets another airing - this time by Minister Turnbull, seeking to score points off KRudd.

Excerpt from the Courier Mail:

Rudd blamed for drought

15 August 2007

Kevin Rudd has been accused by the Federal Government of being "the architect" of the crippling water shortage in southeast Queensland.

In a strong, personal attack on the Opposition Leader, Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Parliament Mr Rudd had killed off the proposed Wolffdene Dam project in the late 1980s when he worked as Wayne Goss's chief-of-staff.

"He cancelled one viable option and then replaced it with nothing else," Mr Turnbull said.

"The member for Griffith is the architect of southeast Queensland's drought.

"His complacency, his inaction, is the reason southeast Queensland is short of water."
