Way of the world guys.
Whether we like it or not, the fat cats get their way everytime.
They will justify it by saying the swimming championships will generate revenue for victoria and i suppose it will but all the revenue in the world won't make it rain.

No they are not as they are saying class A recycled water is not suitable to drink or swim in it.They are filling the pool up with pure 100% drinking water.
What a waste when we are running out of water.

It is desalinated water.

am in the only person who realises that we are only delaying the inevitable?
u have 10 glasses of water and drink one a day, u can this back to one a week, its not going to last for ever? am i missing something here? or has our whole state lost thier minds?

state has lost the plot... they built a pool for the fukn comm games and now they want another one for the world champs... and they use the guise of 'we'll be using the water to water the states parks and gardens after the meet is over'...
another little bit of number crunching, the state govt used 29% more water during 2006 than they did during 05... and 05 was bigger that 04 etc...
its a farce and were the ones paying for it in tax etc, and then they want to hik the price up coz theyve fukt up and used too much... its a fukn joke..

Not to mention wasteful government building projects.

50 Lonsdale Street. (Right Next to Casselden Place (No. 2)) The project took something like 3 years to build...32 storey office block building. The reason for its conception : To bring all the departments together supposedly.

Yet they still have regional offices. But the amount of wate a building of that size consumes in its construction is unbelievable.

Not to mention, when i was working there in the last year of its construction, a sprinkler head burst on one of the carpark levels over the weekend. On the monday, when i came in to find 1/2 of the buildings telephones in water...wasnt too pleased

(Get this though, the dumb security guard waded through water up to her knee in one part to turn off the main temp power for the basement....while up to her ankles in water)

But the water all went down the drain.....and wasted. Then there was a pipe that burst on the roof, sending water cascading onto the street below...and evaporating.


Useless useless waste to build a building that technically wasnt needed...and then all the mistakes that were made on the job that caused more waste...
