Desal Dan’s water order

Shadow Minister for Water, Peter Walsh
Melbourne’s water storages are two-thirds full and we’re not even on water restrictions, but Daniel Andrews has rushed off and ordered 50 billion litres of expensive desal water.
Today, Daniel Andrews has shown he doesn’t care that he’s forcing up water bills and making life harder for Melbourne families. He just wants to justify Labor’s oversized desal plant.
The Liberal Nationals Coalition know that the increasing cost of living is putting pressure on families, but Daniel Andrews is choosing politics over people.
Under the last Labor government, Melbourne water bills more than doubled and they’re going to go up again now Daniel Andrews is switching on the desal plant.
