I'd rather pay on my water rates the equivalent of an insurance policy against water shortages during the droughts Victoria has, than things like the PPL.
Do you pay water rates in Victoria?
And would Baillieu's 50 gigalitre desalination plant have produced any more water than the current desalination plant?
P.S. A big assumption on your part as to who you claim I'm voting for, (added is the fact you are wrong).
