    Read and weep, those who excuse National's desperate denial of reality regarding water.

    George Bernard Shaw walked into a bar. he went up to a woman he liked and
    asked her if she would sleep with him for a million pounds (Sterling)?

    She replied yes.

    George then said, Would you sleep with me for a penny?

    The woman turned to George and shouted," What sort of woman do you think I
    am?"

    George replied, Madam we have already established that, we are now mealing haggling over the price.

    This whole water tax arguement is rather pointless until one throws in the
    tax amount, which has been done 2 cents per cubic meter.

    So does the 50% of people think that this is a rate at which they agree to
    have the water taxed?

    Yes, we should pay for petrol, but really $2/l is far too much. Half that amount is plenty.

    Which is 2c per 1000 litres of water which can add up to a lot when your talking millions of litres daily!
