Drought - the Red Marauder
|
One of the less controversial decisions the Federal government made this week was to continue to provide drought aid to many regions across the country.
To one observer of the Australian condition, this will come as a very, very familiar story.
He is the historian Michael McKernan, and he has just published a study of the role of drought in Australian history. Drought is a constant in our life, he finds, but it seems to come as a surprise every time.
