big business wants control of water

The parliamentary secretary for water, Malcolm Turnbull, has told a Melbourne conference the privatisation of Australia's water supply will solve city water shortages.

Mr Turnbull told the conference the water industry must be opened to full private investment and ownership.

He says that will allow for the provision of as much water as the cities want.

"Even those people who are opposed to private sector involvement in water on some ideological basis have got to expect that the systematic stand is broken and is not working," he said.

"I mean it makes no sense to big cities, that can have as much water as they can pay for, to be rationing water."

The most telling part is his statement that we can have all the water we can pay for !!!!! Thats exactly where these blokes want us...able to be held to ransom for an essential product. This is capitalism at it's most extreme and is plain evil.
