When the algal bloom did enter Gulf St Vincent, it appeared on the western coast, opposite the coast where Pt Stanvac is located, and has only just moved to the eastern coast, where I live, a few km from Pt Stanvac, in the last couple of weeks. It seems to be less concentrated than when it appeared at Waitpinga, but still causing deaths of large and small marine creatures.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not in any way defending the desal plant, I have no interest in it, I just don&#39;t want to see a false narrative built up around this.

Exactly. It&#39;s 50 years since the practice of sorting garbage for recycling became common, and for some reason that&#39;s beyond human comprehension, recycling is not yet a public utility like water and sewerage.<br/> When told that X packaging material &#34;cannot&#34; be recycled, the average punter believes it (!!!) when what it really means is &#34;We don&#39;t want to spend the capital for the equipment that could recycle it&#34; or some other operational reason that could be easily overcome if the recycling service was state owned.<br/> Some well-meaning people even *post* recyclables like plastic bottle tops to destinations many hundreds of kms away. Yes, really! The manufacturers get free materials, with the freight paid for by the donors.
