My understanding is that this proposed regulation to a (revised) Water Act is not common knowledge.

My main issue is what service is being provided here that we should now be paying for capturing nature's goodness?

If true ....that is political suicide ...people will not tolerate this sort of ' big brother ' tactics ...they obviously don't want to be in Government for very long.

How stupid is this ...
