( more rain water going out to sea because part term premier Brumby failed to plan )

VICTORIA'S State Emergency Service has warned of possible widespread weekend flooding in the Gippsland region.

The warning, issued tonight, follows the Bureau of Meteorology's forecast of heavy rain across the weekend in eastern Victoria, coupled with strong winds over most of the state's south.

The Gippsland region, stretches from Melbourne's south-eastern outskirts to the Victoria/NSW border, south of the Great Diving Range.

Many of its major rivers converge on the Gippsland Lakes, Australia's largest inland waterway.

Its catchment, which includes the Latrobe, Mitchell, Thomson and Tambo rivers, has been hit hard by floods in recent years

50 Melbourne cafes wamt you to pay for a glass of tap water http://www.theage.com.au/national/sip-and-pay-water-drive-20081118-6adx.htm l

He said that paying a “token sum” for water would make customers and cafe owners aware of the dangers posed by severe water scarcity and encourage water-saving measures.

How about making people aware of how the politicians have completely failed the community, how they have squandered your tax dollars, how they have charged you for water but failed to invest in new infrastructure while the cities have grown?

The most tragic thing about all of this is the dumbing down of the people, who are like a mob of brainless sheep following a retarded shepherd.

Well, if we had any doubts of Mr. Brumby thinking he is god-like, they should be gone now, after he himself has said something to the effect of

"I will claim credit for some of this rain"

at the National Press Club. Just saw it on tv, on ten news.

Perhaps we will be in luck, and he will really be able to pull these so-called water savings out of his backside.

Who does the Mayor of Murrindindi represent? On ABC Goulburn –Murray radio today, the morning of the local government talk-fest in Canberra, she related meeting with Julia Gillard on the eve of the function and discussing pulling the community together after advising the pipeline was going ahead. Surely it was also an opportunity to highlight the sham of an environmental process that has been foisted on the community, indeed the wider community, and signed off under the Federal legislation. Also to foreshadow on-going support for the efforts of Senator Xenophon and the Green Senators, with Coalition support, to put in place measures to ensure no water is taken south of the divide to the detriment of the environment and food security.
