Water falls from the sky, that all of us do not have the ability economicly to purchase large rainwater tanks to supplement our water supply is irrelevant to this issue. We pay our taxes, and we expect value for money, it is as simple as that. If we shop at Big W, we expect likewise, but do not necessarily recieve it.
This is why we elect Government to manage these things, so if they do not, we have a chance to remove them from office. We can not remove Big W from trading, however we can stop a Government which is not governing, provided we have an alternative for whom to vote. At present, we do not have that option, and it's long overdue that we did.
