Jonno, Jonno, Jonno,
You obviously just can't see the big picture can you?
Why should we allow these rat bag, tree hugging, greenie, vegetarians to
waste our precious water on their miserable veggy patches?
It is much more important to allow people to fill up their spas and swimming
pools, build temporary swimming pools when we have a purpose built aquatic
centre, and pour millions of litres on to Flemmington race track so the
newly planted (in the middle of a drought) grass would look nice for the
gamblers.
Remember this decision was made by the same mob that turned a prommised
freeway into a tollway.
I don't vote for the state labor party any more either.
PS There was 70mm in our rain gauge after yesterdays down pour in the outer
east, so I won't have to water the plot for a couple of days or three or
four.
