Water Susidies Bracks Style
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.

Country Voice Victoria Media Release
I am attaching some press clippings re the forest industry. The story in which Graeme Stoney is quoted is partially a result of the roster system CV set up to assist contractors in guarding their equipment and Graeme's diligence in raising the matter in Parliament. In other news a NSW logging contractor has been successful in getting a Supreme Court injunction against protestors (see below) who have been blockading his workplace for months. As usual the protestors are crying foul and saying that free speech is threatened. We need to let our supporters know that what is being prevented is the activities intended to stop a contractor and his employees earning a living. Basically it is unlawful to plan and act to stop one company from trading with another. It always has been the law but logging contractors have not previously exercised their rights to seek injunctions. After decades of being the subject of regular blockades people are saying enough is enough.

Court order halts anti-logging protest
ABC On-Line November 11th 2005

Bruce Mathie and Sons has obtained a
The Nature Conservation Council (NCC) says the order also prevents some of the activists from directing other protesters to hinder access to logging areas.
Council's director Cate Faehrmann says the legal action was unnecessary.
"The right to peacefully protest in this country is under attack increasingly and this could be another example of that," she said.
"We will be urging the State Government to try and introduce laws to outlaw this kind of questionable, these questionable court cases and we'll see how we go with that."
Telstra Weapon
There has been much ado by the Howard Government in relation to the sell off of the remaining majority portion of Telstra. The need to do this has been touted as necessary to allow Telstra to become competitive in the market place. What market place? The market place of corporate agenda and profit.
The reality is that Telstra some years back, with much fanfare and acclaim, told us all about how the last remote telephone had been installed in a very distant geographical point of
What the bureaucrats are not telling you is that communication technology has moved ahead so far that Telstra has now upon it the obligation to provide the public of

We Will Remember Them
On the 11th of November 1918 was the end to what many called the "Great War" and on this day we remember those who paid the supreme sacrifice for this country.
As an ex-serviceman, [returned serviceman I dislike as all men and women who joining the armed services were directed under orders to battle or not to battle, this was out of the individuals control] as was my father and mentioned grandfather, it is a slap in the face when we that are left can see what government is doing with the heritage left by our forefathers. Should the courage of those WW2 servicemen and women not extended themselves for the salvation of this Australia, then these politician of sad credibility would not have existed under Japanese rule.
I would like to say to those radical greens, government bureaucrats and pathetic politicians - take one more minute silence after remembering our fallen. Consider the lies and unspeakable hardship you have bestowed on the rural community of this nation that our fallen will never forgive you for.
And to Mr Bracks, premier of Victoria, if you had done to your ancestors in Lebanon what you have done to mine in here Australia you would have now joined them.
"We Will Remember you in 2006"
Scientist Told To Remove Evidence
No sooner has SOS run a story in the last issue on the pressures causing scientists and researchers to publicly espouse that which is less than what they actually know and believe from their research, "Monkey on scientists back becomes visible," but now we have a retired scientist who was employed by Government here in this Nation showing just how dangerous these bureaucrats are with their agendas and power they wield.
This story is not only a must to read by every Australian citizen to understand just how manipulated our eminent scientific community are, but describes in graphic detail just how insidious the green movement is and the incredible damage such a movement has caused to the Australian ecosystem. An ecosystem that you have all been led to believe these Green Necks [along with the powerful Bureaucracy that is treasonously selling out Australian farming interests] are protecting, where in fact they are with out doubt almost the sole cause of the problems that they claim to be fighting.
It is also without doubt time for the farmers nationally to fight back and fight back with a vengeance against a the assault against their livelihoods that such dastardly, ill-informed groups such as the Wilderness Society - who are nothing but puppets of the Bureaucrats who are stealing everything that has value in this nation, for their corporate masters.
This story, a transcript of a speech given in 2005 by Mr Bill Burrows who spent 40 years of his life as a research scientist employed by the Government, is proof that all you farmers are being screwed in a manner that can almost be described as the intentional criminal intent to defraud the citizens of this nation of the results of proven scientific research.
Read this story, now reread and reread it again, print it out and e-mail it far and wide, because this is one monkey on a scientist's back that has been thrown to the floor and crushed under foot.
Just how deep are the lies and deceit of those we entrust ?
God save this nation

Debus the Turd Man
Sydney Daily Telegraph By Andrew Clennell November 11, 2005
The NSW Attorney-General, Bob Debus, has described the anti-terrorism legislation that his boss, the Premier, Morris Iemma, agreed to with John Howard as "shithouse" in a confidential caucus briefing.
Mr Debus, according to caucus sources, said that the federal bill "started out as a bill of which Adolf Hitler would be proud and now it's just a shithouse bill".
Mr Debus yesterday was understood to be furious at the leaking of his comments. He had been speaking to about 25 MPs, many of whom have real concerns with NSW's decision to agree to the bill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I think Mr Debus has shown the people his capabilties yet again ... DON'T YOU
Land on our feet
It is nice to read see that SOS-NEWS has become a benchmark for rural journalist, you will see what I mean when you read the format "The Land" has taken this week.
And by the way it would seem that they find it difficult to publish a letter to the editor I sent them 4 weeks ago that spelt out some home truths which must have been challenging. Will give them another week then publish it for you all here in SOS-NEWS
Looks like we will reach 10,000 subscibers in the next few issues as the flow is still steady. WE have our share of unsubscribers as well but so small it is just a handful each week.
