Nationalise fundamental services now, or pay these thieves and rapists to keep thieving from the people and raping nature? I can't decide which of those options is best. |  |

It's a piss take. The amount they've trousered in profits and dividend payouts over the last 30 years and they then have the audacity to ask for even more in order to provide something they should have already provided. |  |

I am sure that like the share holders we will receive a handsome financial return on our investment.
Edit....I blame Sid. [Post edited 2 Oct 2023 9:06]

i thought the model for good business is to set aside money for future investments? If most profits are going into peoples , then asking the common people to pay for the privately owned investments which they will profit from is an utter disgrace! |  | | |

Saw some coverage of that on the breakfast news. Feargal Sharkey of all people was on there representing a group who completely disagree with this proposal (and who's name I've forgotten) & he certainly wasn't holding back! |  | | |

Feargal Sharkey has been a passionate advocate for water quality for some time. What an improvement it would be if our once great country was run by people of even quarter his calibre instead of the deceitful, dishonourable, thieving bastards who are in power and extracting everything they can now. | |

To reiterate what NthQLD said, Fergal has been fronting up to the water companies for some time. He's been doing amazing work to raise awareness and coordinate activist efforts on the ground. He's gathering evidence from activists and just the public who are reporting sewage spills and other changes in our rivers, sitting on various panels and discussion fora, and doing press work to try and let the rest of us know how bad things are. Bloke deserves a medal. | |
