Veolia are the company driving a nasty pipeline through Kurnell and Botany Bay, to be paid for with exorbitant water bills. Here is some of the backlash which the above adverts are presumably designed to counter act:
Angry Kurnell homeowners halt de-sal plant tunnelling | The Daily ...
All in the name of a desalination plant contract to Veolia while we experience the rainiest (wettest?) April on record .
The Veolia full page adverts are in SMH, The Australian and Australian Financial Review today apparently. Today it's a butterfly motif. Previously a tree and probably others we forget.
These guys are so very calculating with their very expensive PR literally as people are placed in motels because their houses are shaking from the construction.
Veolia which bought out Collex or was Collex previously also runs the dubious Woodlawn landfill near Goulburn NSW delivering major disruptions at Clyde for a mega transfer station. You might say Veolia's speciality is disruption of the public amenity.
