re: australia is rooted (drought) for stocko
Galloper I get my info from my 2 Brothers , one works for Melb Water and the other for Telstra.
Melb Water is a wholesaler to other water authorities, I am not sure on the retail water pricing.
My Bro started out with the Rural water commission , then he went to Southern Water then to the Office of water reform (State Govt) and now is at Melb Water. He is one of the best planners that I know and has implemented drought strategies via the Directors of Melb water that go straight to Johnn Thwaites office. Everything you see on TV comes via what my bro implements. He did post on this web board as MonsterCash but he has his time filled with other issues.
