It has its place and is needed BUT not to the ridiculous levels it has been used too. I've heard of even worse things happening in the UK. Great comment and thanks for your insight.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-16873326671891468572009-02-04T12:38:00.000+13:002009-02-04T12:38:00.000+13:00Oh, how true!We've got a dirty mud puddle happenin...Oh, how true!<BR/>We've got a dirty mud puddle happening here with irrigators paying for water rights every year (water they don't get in the end), paying money towards the upkeep of irrigation channels, etc but now the Vic Govt is claiming that Melbourne Water is paying for the upgrade to the channels and, ergo, they have the right to construct the damned North-South pipeline to take water from a dying river to Melbourne so lawns can be green and loos flushed.<BR/>If people protest on their own land at the contractors building the pipeline the police arrest them - <I>on their own land</I>.<BR/>Farmer's and landowners rights have gone out the window, environment policies are being ignored, they're re-writing the law as they go here.<BR/>That is but one of the many ridiculous Acts they've brought in recently that works against farmers.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887495757366973130noreply@blogger.com
