Missing news: 50 to 1

ABC appears to find news of crowd sourced and community funded projects worthwhile. For instance it recently spent sometime reporting on the use of crowd sourced funding to finance an investigation into the genetic health of sugar gliders (Link Here).

How long then will the ABC, who is supposed to represent the views of all Australians, take to report on a recent community sourced project that demonstrates that it is 50 times more costly to tackle climate change through taxes and emission trading schemes than to do so by adapting to change as it occurs.

To see the results of this community effort and to learn a thing or two about the economics of climate change follow the link below.

4 corners versus Topher

ABC's current affairs flagship the good ship "4 Corners" is looking at the Murray-Darling Basin in tonight's edition. With the Government promising to put a decision before Parliament in 12 months time, they must decide who gets the water and just how much. A pain-free solution is unlikely, so will the politicians have the ticker to make the tough decisions? Will the largest water reform plan in the nation's history deliver a healthy river system, or will it be stymied by political compromise?

Meanwhile at no cost to tax payers Chris"Topher" Field present the case against the plan in Topher's unpopular view number 5: The MDBA Debacle.
Topher takes on the Australian government in this scathing critique of the Murray Darling Basin Authorities 'Proposed Basin Plan'. In his usual 'take no prisoners' style Topher uncovers deep flaws in the MDBA's proposal and sends the water minister Tony Bourke back to the drawing board.

Simple question: Which story best covered the issues?
Which provided the best value for money?

The ABC is facing irrelevancy as amateurs out perform the professionals.
