Car Pool Tunnel Syndrome

As water restrictions loom over Melbourne, you'll no doubt be pleased to discover that a pair of our wonderful corporate citizens are ramming it right up us.

Sound a bit rude? Well not half as rude as I could be to Transurban and Transfield-Obayashi Joint Venture, who are pumping at least 1 million litres of drinking water a day into the Burnley Tunnel.

Read my grizzled thin lips: 1 million litres of drinking water a day!!

The precious liquid is being splashed about to prevent subsidence and property damage around the tunnel, but my question is do they have to use drinking water?

Apparently, those in charge have been asked by our water supply people to change their wasteful habits but, so far, have not done anything meaningful to halt the flood.

Hello, you selfish droobs, don't you realise what you are doing? Do you care that this summer is going to be one of water bans and limitations? Don't you realise that by p***ing away 1 million litres of drinking water a day you are doing this community a grave disservice.

Probably not. Bastards.
