		But a decision to save the Lake, or postpone the flooding, would come to many throughout Australia as a kind of modern miracle, a resurrection from the dead, a testament that democracy can still be made to work, a living proof that we are not the crass, materialistic people we sometimes fear ourselves to be.

		Young emphasises the underlying pragmatism of official efforts to preserve forests, which were saved to protect lowland farming areas and for later exploitation rather than for their intrinsic natural value.
