Normal since Mining Criminals like Newmont / Newcrest & BHP / Billiton
are showing the example !
What of a few cubic meters here while the other Mining Cunts rob 450
000 there ?
Hey ?
I note as well the level-four water restrictions ... this is
completely hopeless since even level-10 water restrictions will not
bring the Rain back ...ONLY ONE THING WILL !
Anyway all this indicates a perfectly desperate and out of hand
situation. GOOD !

RURAL WATER THEFT ON RISE

IT'S a drop considered by country folk more precious than gold.
And as the state slips into another year of dry conditions the very
thing that keeps towns and farms alive is being stolen.
The drought has forced desperate people to resort to drastic measures
to combat the lack of rain with water theft up by 30 per cent.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that since January there have been five
incidents where more than 100,000 litres of water were stolen from
tanks or taps across the state.
There have also been more water thefts involving 10,000 litres or
less.
Police are warning country people to be more vigilant in checking
water resources.
Assistant Commissioner Steve Bradshaw, spokesman for the state's rural
crime investigations unit, said the value of water had increased
significantly in the drought, which had brought a 20 to 30 per cent
rise in the number of thefts.
"It's alarming and I'm not predicting it will get worse but rural
communities need to be more aware," said Mr Bradshaw, who has been
policing in rural areas for 38 years.
"It was never reported before because there was plenty of water and no
one checked their tanks but now people are vigilant and check water."
He said the thefts mainly involved tanks and taps in built-up rural
areas.
Drought-stricken farmers not only have to battle the dry conditions
but are also continually being targeted by livestock duffers.
Every day two farms are hit by thieves, with industry experts
expecting the numbers are much higher as many thefts go unreported.
According to the Bureau of Crime Statistics there were 305 reports of
stock theft in 2006.
Nearly three years ago Blighty dairy farmer Jayson Coulton had 42
dairy heifers stolen from his paddock on the NSW/Victorian border.
They were found on another nearby paddock.
Brian Hayes was convicted of stealing the cattle and was jailed, with
an 18 months non-parole period, by Wagga Wagga District Court on May
4.
Christina Murphy was also convicted in relation to the theft and was
given a two-year suspended jail sentence and good behaviour bond. The
couple were also ordered to pay Mr Coulton almost $88,000
compensation.
Murphy has lodged an appeal against her conviction and sentence.
According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, rural crime
costs cockies more than $70 million a year. This translates to each
farmer directly losing about $5701 a year from crimes including theft
of livestock, produce, machinery or other property, burglary,
vandalism or sabotage and illegal hunting or fishing.
NSW Farmers' Association president Jock Laurie said livestock theft
was something that should not be taken lightly by authorities.
"It's not easy to prove stock theft because you have to be up to date
with your books and show clearly in documents stock movement," he
said.
Drastic curbs to save jobs
RESIDENTS in towns and cities south of the Murray-Darling system will
accept level-four water restrictions to help save jobs, councils say.
Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Phil Koperberg said
yesterday all towns in the Murray and Murrumbidgee valleys should
start preparing for the restrictions to come into force by July 1.
Level-four water restrictions will generally mean no outside hosing,
no use of sprinklers and no filling of swimming pools.
Murray Regional Organisation of Councils (MROC), which represents 11
authorities in the area, said most would be willing to comply.
"There are some concerns to councils because people won't be able to
maintain their gardens and the aesthetics in their towns," MROC
executive officer Ray Stubbs said.
"But we also recognise we've got to do everything we possibly can to
make sure industry is not affected. The real danger is that if there
is not enough water for some of our major indust- ries, then people
could start losing their jobs."
