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
benefits for doing so.
Especially pensioners and disabled people, but not forgetting those who
cannot afford to buy at ever increasing prices.
There is a petition on this website, backed by both Jane Edmundson and
Don Burke to ask and allow this 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.

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, but it seems not.
