Given all the press reports about water shortages this will put things in perspective. The Perth dams are fuller than at any time in the last 6 years:

Okay, there is a bigger population now but we also have the desal plant providing 17% of our water and another one on the way in about 4 years.

YEs, anyone that knows anything about OZ weather knows droughts come and go, one year theres a drought next year its flooding and theres too much water. Some negative posters on the forum a while back were saying don't immigrate to OZ theres no water, what a load of garbage, half my acerage is flooded at the moment its been raining almost every day for the last few months where l live.

If you look back at the history of Australia you will see that droughts and floods are 'normal' so tp speak. So I guess the current situation is no different. Australia has always managed to cope with both floods and droughts and I don't see this changing in the future.
