Water is vital commodity

Without putting too many tickets on oneself and without false modesty, may I say that as an alderman and councillor on Gosford Council, it was well known I was 20 to 50 years ahead of the time.

I missed out on being mayor about 10 times and was deputy mayor about six times.

If I made mayor, my number one priority would have been water supply and I approached a number of mayors on this subject.

Even a brain-dead DVD addict can work out that water is the most vital and essential commodity for this and every local government area.

It's good to see that things are moving in this, as with the proposed desalination plant.
