Mr Bracks is out there wooing rural communities presenting that ever present façade of “my government is here to help the farmers”. So let SOS present some facts from your own government resources Mr Bracks on water rebate/subsidies that paint yet another picture of your inability report the truth.

We have figures from the Victorian Department of Sustainability year ending 2004, that confirm your dedicated help is directed to the city folk on a big dollar basis that

indicates the loyalty farmers receive from Shifty Steve. Take a look at some of the major contributions to farmer compared with the city.

For example Lake Mokoam has been decommissioned by Bracks government which was servicing irrigation to farmers leaving them without water and a rebate being the cheapest of $1364 for 44,000 megalitres a total of $60 million.

Now in the city for saving just 220 megalitres for 13,770 consumers who bought AAA washing machines they received $150 being $2.07m which is cost of $9375 per megalitre.

Let us not forget the important AAA dishwasher which netted 5815 city dwellers for saving 17.4 megalitres $100 each costing government $581,500.00 which is $5,815 per megalitre.

Now the crowning glory to attract your attention was catering to the snow bunnies, those well known polluters of the Snowy Mountain Mt Hotham area during the winter. This protected species received 100 megalitres of grey water to “make snow” at a cost to Victorians of $84,000 per megalitre resulting in a staggering cost of $8.4 million dollars.

More of this is available but it would be stating the obvious how Mr Bracks and John (Twitter) Thwaites (Minister for Conservation) lie to rural communities of Victoria.

Contact we have within the bunkers of Bracks told us the spin doctors for the millstones of ministry relate that the city people need to feel they have made an investment to water conservation.

Well it’s your election in 2006, “what do you think”?

Why not email Mr Bracks here and tell him your thoughts.
