of the financial burden of exceptional circumstances is borne, rightly, by the federal government, and we don’t complain, but it is about time the New South Wales government did their bit. It is about time the New South Wales government stopped charging people in New South Wales for water they do not have. I can understand them, in a drought, cutting the allocation, but it is unconscionable, it is unfair and it is unjust that they should cut somebody’s allocation without compensating.
