I object to Melbourne Water levying a waterways charge yet perpetuating unsustainable environmental infrastructure for urban and regional communities. Change the distribution system to one more in line with our low water yield and microscopic need for potable water.

All the assets we've paid for through our taxes, such as Telecom, our Power providers etc, have been sold off to the rich and corrupt and their greedy, lazy shareholders, all we ever get are higher costs.

Enough is enough.

It's time for full accountability for all Public servants, who are in abundance, simply because it keeps the unemployment figures down.

I say no to this and any other privatisation.

Water belongs to us all and must be seen as a common good, not a commodity to be traded to the highest bidder. The n-s pipeline and the desal are huge energy guzzling projects that will impact on our environment, whilst the Govt has just increased carbon emissions. When are people going to wake up to the hypocracy of all this.

The principle is that they are moving the boundaries just to collect money.
My fear is that next year the rate will be increased, may be tripled, this year is just a stepping-stone for future rate hikes.

Frankly, if they are that eager to clean up some river, their management should get a shovel and do their own dirty work.
They yook charge of the mounts reservoirs, which were paid for by the locals to secure water after Ash Wednesday with no compensation.
They sold water from the Rosslynne dam to road contractors and Sunbury, so that they then had to re-charge this for replacement water from Melbourne
What next ?
