Victorian Minister Insults the Public

The current Minister for Water in Victoria, has insulted the Victorian population by telling them to "GROW UP" with respect to the usage of water.

He went on further to say that it is important for future generations for the Victorians to save water. The government currently has a "target 155" campaign which urges people to use no more than 155 litres of water per person per day.

A Target which the Government understand is UNOBTAINABLE.

An evaporative water cooling system which is installed in the majority of Victorian households consumes between 20 - 70 litres of water PER HOUR.

Since the privatisation (Money for Mates) of Melbourne's water to companies that ONLY MANAGE but do not improve on infrastructure, as a result has reduced Melbourne's water supply to critical levels, YET the government still has done NOTHING for over 25 years.

They are only talking about Water Desalination plants.

Water tanks are sold at great cost to the consumer, and the water bill is increased as a result.

During each decade of drought, water tanks were FORBIDDEN to be installed, as this would detract funds from the governments pockets.
