Default Petition asking to be allowed to water vegetable gardens

I'm sure you were tongue in cheek.
But bugger them rich pool filling literate snakes.
Of course i see the big picture.
I say sic em.
The constitution allows us to use water for subsistance and they can get
stuffed.
Hows that for seeing the big picture. Im not paying parking fines, not
speeding fines, that are screwing the general public who have no idea or
time to fight them.
Actually, I'm quite amused. Who knows the current rules, speed liit or
parking regulations anyway. They have deliberately confused the hell out
of the general public.
No more Mr Nice guy. Its water pistols at 10 paces.
Whoops imitation pistols now cop a jail sentence.
Anyone want to get radical with me?

There will be many using their garden for growing vegetables, and I
for one believe we shouldn't be stopped from watering our vegetable
gardens even though there is a drought as there are many
environmental and other benefits for doing so.
This especially applies to pensioners and disabled people, but not
forgetting those who cannot afford to buy vegetables at ever
increasing prices.
There is a petition on this website, (backed by both Jane Edmundson
and Don Burke) to ask for this to be allowed to happen.
If you agree, you will also help keep vegetable prices down, as I
have noticed, the large grocery stores always drop prices locally so
it doesnt pay to grow your own. So its benefits all around.
Read the information here and sign it online, if you agree:

The Victorian state labor government of course does not agree but
should be ashamed of its no dams policy and backing the privatised
water industry blaming the drought for ever increasing prices.
Now its GM modified foods. I thought they were there to support the
people,


Jonno, Jonno, Jonno,

You obviously just can't see the big picture can you?

Why should we allow these rat bag, tree hugging, greenie, vegetarians to
waste our precious water on their miserable veggy patches?

It is much more important to allow people to fill up their spas and swimming
pools, build temporary swimming pools when we have a purpose built aquatic
centre, and pour millions of litres on to Flemmington race track so the
newly planted (in the middle of a drought) grass would look nice for the
gamblers.

Remember this decision was made by the same mob that turned a prommised
freeway into a tollway.

I don't vote for the state labor party any more either.

PS There was 70mm in our rain gauge after yesterdays down pour in the outer
east, so I won't have to water the plot for a couple of days or three or
four.
