Government needs water levy cash flowing in

The way that Government approached the introduction of water charges clearly points to an administration intent on reaching even deeper into our pockets and mopping up whatever money it can to sustain itself as it seeks re-election in 2016.

Like all of its ventures into new charges and taxes, these charges will hurt most those already in financial trouble.

It’s a case of kicking the citizen when he is down before rifling his pockets.
