Has anyone seen Professor FlimFlam?

Having predicted that rain would not fill Sydney's dams, Professor FlimFlam was last seen at Como Boat Hire checking out the rates. The official figure for Waragama Dam's storage capacity as of 5th January 2016 is 94.5%. Check it out here:

To further discredit alleged Professor FlimFlam the newspapers are saying "NEW South Wales residents should stay away from rising waters as heavy rain hammers the state, emergency services have warned, and for some it is about to get even worse".

Professor FlimFlam seems to be intent on making a burlesque of his role as responsible adult.

To ensure it rains, forget the umbrella.

Build a de-salination plant.....to a building standard that the roof flies off in extremely windy weather.

Is that the same professor that promised us a budget surplus in 3 years?

He's the one who said "even the rain that falls will not fill our rivers and dams" so all Labor state governments rushed out and built de sal plants at the cost of billions and they have never been needed. Thanks flim flammery, you got your junk science listened to and now the taxpayers are lumbered with these white elephants forever costing us more billions.

He's a disgrace and a con artist.

of course I do ( watering system actually), but it's never enough, the scorching sun we're getting here and the wind just dry everything out- can't keep up with it and it's been hot much earlier than usual this year
