Their ideals are ill thought, when we look at the Glenelg recycling scheme, where the piping and delivery costs have proven cost prohibitive.   To truly pursue long term water initiatives to water proof our beloved State, we must look beyond the picture of our failing river, to include protection of our Aquifers, upgrades of our ailing underground infrastructure and to embrace storm water recycling.   The Rann government have passed legislation in 2002 to allow unlimited use of our water resources by civil contractors, even from natural water supplies like our rivers, lakes and Aquifers with out any protection to their long term viability, in fact they have gone as far as rendering inoperative the many government web sites and research which has clearly found such moves to be devastating to our Aquifers long term viability!   The Rann government should be held accountable for such underhanded and ill thought moves, as an Independent I demand they not only repeal this legislation immediately, but also publicly explain the reason behind it introduction.   It has become obvious that the government hold the interests of overseas construction giants above that of our ailing water resources, which is “Totally unacceptable”  While the debate on these important issues continues to be muddied by spin and deceit, the path to our long-term water future is becoming longer by the day.  As an Independent Voice, and through thorough investigation, I will continue to expose the truth and lobby for accountability, out of sight out of mind in respect of our Aquifers, underground infrastructure should never be an excuse, long term vision should not be shackled by our governments ideal of the time between elections.  I say take me on Mr. Rann, admit your shortcomings, and tell the public the truth, because I will ensure they become informed one way or another.   Mark M Aldridge Independent Candidate for the Legislative Council See my Today Tonight expose on you tube or on this site under my more detailed water articles08 82847482 / 0403379500  Web site; www.markmaldridge.com  Email; aldridgemark@bigpond.com                   Home | FARM DIRECT MARKETS SA | DODGY ELECTIONS THE TRUTH | SAVING OUR FOOD INDUSTRY 2013 | VOTING 4 ANIMAL WELFARE | VOTE NO TO AUST WITH OUT FARMS | THE RSPCA EXPOSED | DAFWA undermine justice | WHY VOTE FOR AN INDEPENDENT | ABOUT MARK | STANDING UP FOR LOCAL BUSINESS | BILL OF RIGHTS FOR AUSTRALIA | AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION  | MARK BRIEF IDEALS OVERVIEW | THE DEMISE OF AUSSIE RIGHTS | CARBON TAX WHOLE STORY UPDATE  | DEMAND SUPPORT FOR DAIRY FARMS | SA ELECTION FACTS FOR 2010/14 | FLUORIDE THE SIMPLE TRUTH | HEMP / CANNABIS EXPOSED" | WATER PROOFING South Australia | WHERE DOES OUR TAX MONEY GO? | MY POLITICAL HISTORY 1999/2012 | CONTACT ME | DIGNITY FOR THE DISABLED | The Muddied Water Debate | 2013 REWRITE OF ELECTORAL LAW | MY RALLY FOR THE CHILDREN | 24 POLICE STATION IN SALISBURY | WORKCOVER....NO THANKYOU | 2013 REFERENDUM ON COUNCILS | REFERENDUM 2013 VOTE NO DEBATE | On line Gambling | On line security | Aboriginal Soverignty in SA | Regional Aust missing out! | The water story part 2 | DODGY ELECTORAL LAWS | GETUP THE FULL EXPOSE 2011 | Nuclear Power & the future | COUNTRY PEOPLE DESERVE MORE | Family Law reform please | 11/5 election dispute update | SMALL BUSINESS DESERVE MORE | Federal Tax reform figures | Electoral commission affidavit | BILL OF RIGHTS V COMMON LAW | MULTICULTURALISM OR NOT? | Climate Debate the Way Forward | ROAD SAFETY FOR SA | The Carbon Tax explained | AUSTRALIAS DEBT "TOO FAR?" | ROAD SAFETY AND TRAFFIC LAWS | How Labor won Ramsay | RESTORE REGO LABELS? | LABOR ABANDONS INNOVATION  | AUSTRALIA...
