The gov. is holding an inquiry into how badly they've mismanaged this. I doubt things will change after we've all told them some truths. They aren't likely to admit they fooked it up.

Harry has become more despondent, as have many other settlers. The Board refuses to accept that this is not a region for cropping only and we must be allowed to stock some sheep to provide another source of income. I could look after some sheep. How hard could veterinary treatments be?

"Well, I think that's about it. I've scoured every bit of the clearing, and laid out the markers. Fuck, it's hot. Time for a drink and sit in the shade for a bit."

"Sounds good Daz. I haven't found anything else, and Clara seems to be a bit quiet. I guess we woke her up, and she's now thinking about things as well."
