That Southern Australia graph does show a downward trend since the 1970s. I'm not sure why you would think that the BOM would make this up.
But again one of your core discussions points BV, is that because you don't understand it, because you can't imagine it, then it must be impossible.
The desal plant is a good idea if there was renewable energy to drive it. The financial terms around the whole project are dodgy, Labor was foolish and irresponsible to build it with those terms. The Naptime goverment did have a chance to renegotiate and get a better deal for Victorians but chose not to, hopefully Andrews is a better leader.
But a better idea is to build a pipe from western Tasmania and take waste water from the hydro projects and pipe that to Victoria. It was roughly costed a few years ago by engineers and it would be cheaper to build and much cheaper to run.
