here we go... this was always on...

Okay, so the source is the Herald-Sun. Worse yet, the Sunday Herald-Sun. So I'll wait until I hear it from a reliable source like, I don't know, the three year old neice. But this one rings a bit true, don't you think.

THE Bracks Government is outraged at a leaked federal proposal to tax rainwater collected from roofs. The idea was revealed in a leaked email seen by the Sunday Herald Sun.

In the email, National Water Commission chief Ken Matthews says, "Legally, all water in Australia is vested in governments."

Mr Matthews' email continued: "Governments have not yet considered the capture of water from roofs in rainwater tanks to be of sufficient magnitude to warrant the issuing of specific entitlements to use this class of water.

Can't wait to see who's brave enough to trying taxing rain water!
