Beautiful Bay
Clean water is central to all of life, everywhere. It is the source of life. Without water, there is no life. There is a Slovakian proverb which says, ‘Pure water is the world’s first and foremost medicine’. The 450 million litres of chlorinated water that AGL is proposing to release into Western Port Bay every day for twenty years is obscene. With the flow of currents around Western Bay and out into the ocean, its impact would be felt far and wide. The water that sustains life is deserving of greater respect.

If AGL had its way
How many litres of chlorinated water
Would be dumped each day into the Bay?
Is it one million
Two million
Three million
Four million
Litres of chlorinated water
To be dumped each day Into the Bay?
Beautiful Bay
Western Port Bay
AGL should not have its way
It’s more than that by a very long way
Far more than that I’m sad to say
More than one hundred million
Two hundred million
Three hundred million
Four hundred million
Litres of chlorinated water
To be dumped each day Into the Bay
Beautiful Bay
Western Port Bay
AGL should not have its way
So if A G L had its way
How many litres of chlorinated water
Would be dumped each day into the Bay?
Well here it is, it’s hard to miss
It’s four hundred and fifty million
Yes four hundred and fifty million
Litres of chlorinated water
To be dumped each day Into the Bay
Beautiful Bay
Western Port Bay
AGL should not have its way
