Sir/Madam,
while the issue of fluoridation is an issue before this council what ought to be considered
is water used in many communities that are not even treated let alone have fluoride in it.
It is important to gauge the difference between treated water and treaded fluoride water and non- 10
treated water (without fluoride. This matter is one which I have pursued for some 20 years albeit
only in recent times have the water corporation GWMWater acknowledged it provides untreated
water. What therefore would be clear is that despite the Safe Drinking Water Act 2003 (Victoria)
the water supplied is untreated and without fluoride. In my view this give a unique opportunity
for the National Health and Medical Research Council to compare the health of those residing 15
in areas where no fluoride not even Safe Drinking Water exist (other than where householders
purchase at huge additional cost bottled drink water.
It should be understood that I am not referring to remote outer areas where Aboriginals are
residing but within what could be referred to as white skinned communities in ordinary country
towns where next to no aboriginals reside. While all the time we hear all kind of claims about 20
discrimination against remote living Aboriginal communities, here we have to my understanding
at least 70 townships within the area of one water supplier. As such it also can compare untreated
water supply between white skinned people and dark skinned people.
My sister and our 86 year old uncle in 1992 arrived in the Commonwealth of Australia
(Berriwillock) but our uncle died within 2 days. At the time I questioned if it may have been due 25
to jetlag (sitting for long period of time in an aircraft) but my sister made known as a masseur
she did do his legs during the trip to avoid this and also a medical report was provided ruling this
out. In October 2013 I attended to my Berriwillock property and had to return the next day to my
residential address in Viewbank, being severely ill. My wife later made known that she expected
me to die this was how severe ill I was. Because of this sudden illness which lasted for some 30
months (I am 67) I now suspect that my uncle may have died because of the untreated water that
he couldnt handle this.
I am given the understanding, albeit not permitted to disclose the identity of the person, that an
about 18 year old male travelled into the country and was refilling his water bottle at petrol
stations, and then returned home severely ill that his mother gave me the understanding she was 35
concern her son was dying. It was later found by medical test that he had some kind (as I
understand it) blood poisoning.
We do have busses with pensioners and school children travelling along the country side and
when a bus stops for the passengers to drink water from a water tap no one would expect that a
water tap supplies untreated water. It seems that while much noise is made about Ab originals 40
and their remote conditions it seems that little if anything is done to deal with ordinary
Australians living in small townships such as in Victoria, where water suppliers are blatantly
disregarding the legal provisions, while they hypocritically can issue Infringement Notices if a
customer is allegedly in breach of law.

Many persons object to the usage of Fluoride and I view this is a clear opportunity for the
National Health and Medical Research Council as investigate the difference of health
conditions say like small towns like Berriwillock, remote Aboriginals communities and ordinary
towns where fluoride water is drink water supplied. I will now quote a correspondence which is
part of a long running battle against the violation by GWMWater, where despite Berriwillock 5
being connected to a water supply line it still doesnt provide treated water.

regarding any person who may have fallen ill and reported this to their doctors unaware this may
have been as result of drinking untreated water, but it may likely come to surface e once a serious
incident eventuates, or an incident already having occurred is finally associated with the 5
untreated water.

Dear Mr Schorel-Hlavka

I refer to the above mention Assisted Referral (2014/570) received from EWOV yesterday.

In response to the resolutions you are seeking, I offer the following information:

1. The attached letters dated 19 March 2013 and 15 July 2013 outline GWMWaters position in
relation to this matter, which remains unchanged. Under the Water Act 1989, all properties in a
declared urban water supply district who have access to a water supply, regardless of whether
the water supply is used, are required to pay the annual service availability charge, as
nominated by the relevant water corporation. The only exceptions are if the property has been
declared derelict by the local council or it is vacant land.

2. We cannot confirm that your credit rating will not be affected if we proceed with legal action
against you. However whilst your case is the subject of any enquiry from EWOV, GWMWater
will not pursue recovery of the outstanding debt.

Yours sincerely

END QUOTE 8-1-2014 Email from GWMWater

See above email 8-1-2014 and my subsequent response dated 12-1-2014 to GWMWater of which
at the same time a copy was forwarded to EWOV. 5

Essential it appears GWMWater other then seeking to claim some vague and aloof claim based
upon the Safe Water Act 2003, without any substantiated details, it remains any consideration to
the real issues and maintain its past stand prior to my complaint to EWOV. 10

Nothing since has indicated to me that GWMWater has any intention to deal with matters
appropriately as to comply with Victorian Government Standards and other legal provisions. It
appears to me that it blatant disregard may be because there is no known (to me) legal 15
repercussions for GWMWater for failing to comply with the Victorian Government Standards.
Possibly if some city schoolbus were to stop in the country and small children unaware of the
water not being suitable for human consumption drinking it and perhaps at masses fall sick or
even die then likely GWMWater directors may seek a cop out to blame whomever but
themselves. My efforts to expose their conduct, I view is unlawful, may slowly generate more 20
attention can force them to act to comply with Victorian Government standards and other legal

Page 9

st
requirements. As I view it GWMWater so to say is playing RUSSIAN ROULETTE with the
lives of others, where unsuspected persons may drink the untreated water and as I myself fell
severely ill for over 2 months, I view it would be appropriate for the Ombudsman to provide an
interim report to the parliament to recommend urgent legislation appropriate in the circumstances
so perhaps the wellbeing/lives of others are not unduly placed further in jeopardy. 5
I have ordered and received already banners (as shown below), and ordered and paid for
thousands of cards, postcards, magnets and have designed mugs, etc. However, while I can
attempt to get them to act and alert people in the end reality is that GWMWater should have
complied with Victorian Government Standards and other legal requirements upon its own
undertaking as it is Government Policy. 10
I do not accept that GWMWater should be provided with further time to comply as it had already
10 years and must be facing the legal consequences for having so far failed to comply. To ignore
what I consider to be its law breaking conduct in my view would only encourage it to continue to
do so.

It should be clear that while I have the impression GWMWater is not at all working on my
complaints nevertheless it cannot prevent my campaign to so to say force it to act in the interest 5
of others also.

In my view, as is often the case with people wielding power , regardless if unlawfully, they
couldnt care less about what is wrong, etc, because after all they are not personally risking 10
anything, so they think, while they obstruct to comply with Victorian Government Standards and
again so to say play RUSSIAN ROULETTE with the health, and wellbeing of others. After all
even if they in the end are found in the wrong by any court then generally they will themselves
walk away free from any cost as they are using the business to cover for them. This, while many
a person complaining can have huge financial risk to pursue matters. 15
What I view should exist is a mandatory reporting system why any water supplier is in breach of
Victorian government Standards and considering the dangers to the general public, then there
should be a committee existing with investigating powers and able to lay charges against those
involved so that those offending will have the message driven home they are not above the law
and will suffer personally if blatantly disregarding to comply with Victorian Government 20
Standards.me they are not above the law and will suffer personally if blatantly disregarding to
comply with Victorian Government Standards and any other legal provisions. Also directors
involved should be banned for at least 10 years (if not for life) to be director of any business. As
again, I view that this is a very serious matter and something that dragged on for about 20 years,
since I first started to question the water quality, and as I also mentioned GWMWater should be 25
forced to pay compensation to each customer for every day it fails to provide water in accordance
with Victorian Government Standards for household/domestic use. I do not accept that
telecommunications can be forced to pay compensation and GWMWater (or for that any other
water supplier) can blatantly ignore proper compliance with Victorian government Standards and
other legal provisions. 30

Since I filed my formal complaint with EWOV (and GWMWater itself in its correspondence
made clear this was an avenue I could follow) it become very clear GWMWEater has not only 35
disregarded any attempts to seek to resolve issues in dispute and made clear it stands by its past
decision but also, I view, fraudulently claimed not having to comply because of the Safe Water
Act 2003, albeit not specifically stating as to which particular part it sought to rely upon.
Therefore, I view that GWMWater must no longer be allowed to make its own decision but must
be forced to comply, and as indicated above subjected to severe penalties. 40

Page 14
A 1
st
It be kept in mind that while GWMWater continue its current conduct and as I view blatant
disregard of its DUTY OF CARE, people remain at risk and the so to say RUSSIAN
ROULETTE continues to play havoc with the health and wellbeing if not the life of people.
As GWMWater as I understand it is purportedly acting for the Government then it should be
within the powers of the responsible Minister to take immediate action against GWMWater, 5
even if it means terminating its contract, etc.
Just consider that if there were to be any person to die due to consuming the untreated water and
a coroner were to make an adverse finding that GWMWater despite of my campaign nevertheless
persisted to disregard its DUTY OF CARE, etc, then a life that was lost cannot be brought back
and those grieving of the loss may in my view have a case to sue GWMWater. 10
For this, I view the Ombudsman ought to make are commendations, even if by way of an interim
report (as to avoid time delay) for the Parliament to address this very serious issue and to put in
place legislative provisions it may deem appropriate to ensure that GWMWater (or for that any
other water supplier) will suffer severe legal consequences, including directors being banned to
be a director of any company, if found guilty of derelict of duties, etc, 15
I seek that all monies paid, being it by myself, my son or others are refunded as no service was
rendered to which anyone was entitled upon as to legal provisions applicable.
As it appears to me GMWater is blatantly disregarding any reasonable communication because it
simply may disregard whatever the Ombudsman may conclude well aware that generally
customers do not have the financial resources to fight them to pursue JUSTICE. In that regard I 20
view, that where the Ombudsman were to conclude a finding adverse to GWMWater then
GWMWater ought to be liable for all and any legal cost to resolve the issues between
GWMWater and the customer.
Basically EWOV is a lame duck if it lacks any powers to resolve matters and companies like
GWMWater can continue to flaunt Victorian Government Standards and other legal provisions. 25
Hence, as like with telecommunication a daily compensation of failing to comply should be
applicable against GWMWater.
It ought to be considered that if say Telstra (or other telecommunication company) had for so
long failed to comply with requirements then it would have been up a huge amount of
compensation. I see no justification for GWMWater not having to provide simular compensation. 30
In particular where it so to say is playing RUSSIAN ROULETTE with other peoples lives.
I hold that GWMWater conduct (including to engage debt collectors) essentially was a breach of
the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) as to stalking. It persisted in a line of conduct to seek to extort monies
from me while all along aware it failed itself to provide water service as every Victorian is
entitled upon (including in regional areas) as the Minister made clear in Parliament. Therefore, 35
so to say the following applies:
The legal doctrine of ex turpi causa non oritur action denies any remedy to a litigant
(including a prosecutor) who does not come to court with clean hands.
If your own action is very unlawful and very unethical, if you come to court with Dirty Hands
best not to question others legality, morality, and ethics! 40
.
GWMWater itself raised the issue some years ago that a TRANSFER of the account to my
son Richard Schorel would resolve matters. While since than (and only many years latter) it now
argues that it had no legal right to allow for this, it is a bit rich to me that it could somehow enter
into a contract with my son Richard and even the debt collectors trying to find him (on behalf of 45
GWMWater) and now GWMWater desires to sing a different tune as it may suit them. Even
unilaterally altering the account holder from Richard to my former name. It be stated that rate
notices in regard of the Berriwillock property are in my surname Schorel-Hlavka! It is also my
surname on my driver license, my pension card, etc. It appears to me that GWMWater wanted to
keep to Schorel so there would be a so to say minor change in the letter regarding the Christian 50
name only, and so less obvious it had altered the name of the account holder without consent of

Page 15
A 1
st
my son Richard and/or of myself. I view a sleazy tactic that cannot be tolerated. In any event I
ordinary never used G Schorel as I used to use G. H. Schorel therefore again GWMWater
using G Schorel was to try to make it less obvious it had unilaterally altered the account
holder.
In my view GWMWater should seize and desist of any further claims against myself, my son 5
Richard and/or others as I view it has continue to act itself in violation to Victorian Government
Standards and other relevant legal provisions.
I view it (GWMWater) should be ordered to pay a daily rate of compensation similarly to what is
applicable in regard of telecommunication companies for failing to provide water for
domestic/household usage in compliance with Victorian Government Standards. 10
If Richard or either or both of his daughters (my granddaughters) had been ill while using water
supplied by GWMWater through ordinary water pipe lines without any warning that this water
was not fit for human consumption, etc, then I view GWMWater failed in its DUTY OF CARE
in that regard also.

The principal objectives of this bill are to: 20
protect public health in Victoria in relation to drinking water supplies;
create a consistent statewide regulatory framework for drinking water quality;
establish and implement comprehensive risk management strategies for drinking water
quality that covers the overall delivery chain from the catchment to consumer supplies;
give Victorians access to objective information about the quality of drinking water that 25
they receive;
provide communities with the opportunity to establish local non-health-related standards
for drinking water quality;
ensure that proposed drinking water standards are subjected to a rigorous benefit-cost analysis;
provide clarity of roles of the various parties who may be involved in the management of 30
incidents concerning drinking water.

In my view untreated water supplied by GWMWater is in clear violation with what the
Minister presented to the Parliament and I view not intended to be allowed by the Minister.

From the reading of Hansards and the legislation I did so far I concluded that GWMWatyer 45
cannot make any application to be excused so to say forever not to provide water for
domestic/household usage in accordance with Victorian Government Standards but that only in

justified matter but otherwise it is limited to so to say the taste.

Part 3 also provides flexibility for specific local water quality standards to be established
through community consultation, provided any risks to public health have been adequately
addressed. The water supplier will also be required to report to consumers on the quality of water 15
supplied and disclose instances where the quality of water may, for whatever reason or however
briefly, be suspected of posing a risk to public health.

provided any risks to public health have been adequately addressed

I cannot accept that to spread around a mere pamphlet somehow addresses public health. Neither
do I perceive from the legislation and Hansard records that the community can dispense with
having water supplied in violation to Victorian Government Standards. What I view the 25
legislation does allow for is so to say where there is a taste issue (as I mentioned in the past in
Rotterdam the salt taste to water at certain times).
Indeed, on the one hand GWMWater seems to argue that irrespective of its agreement with
Richard (contract) somehow years later it holds it couldnt do so (enter into such contract with
Richard) because of legislative provisions, while on the other hand somehow it seems to argue 30
that regardless of legislative provisions it can ignore Victorian Government Standards. It is like
eating the cake and have it.
.
My wife, not being Richards mother, actually never had met Richard in person, nevertheless
some years ago offered to buy out the debt. This GWMWater refused. Albeit as I understand it 35
was willing to have credit collect (a debt collection agency) to buy the rights to sue for less than
what my wife offered. This to me didnt make any financial sense.
As such, GWMWater refused any reasonable dispute resolution and ended up as I view it
STALKING me and the fact that Chairman Peter Vogel despite having been provided with my
correspondence still failed to take action to stop this, then I view appropriate legal action should 40
follow against GWMWater for this also.
It cannot be that GWMWAter can do what it likes and disregard any legal obligation but can
engaged in what I consider a form of extortion/terrorism.
I did urge GWMWater to write of the alleged debt, and in my view that would have been
appropriate in view of the conduct of GWMWater. 45
You cannot have credit collect acting for GWMWater) to pursue Richard for a debt that
GWMWater now itself maintains is not Richards debt but my debt, regardless that the Account
was TRANSFERRED TO Richards name.
So, there is a clear dispute as to whos debt it relates to.

Also, GWMWater has consistently failed to address the issue of pensioners rebate Richard and
myself were entitled upon when having Berriwillock as a principle address of residence.

With this and other issues, I view any contract that GWMWater may hold as a water provider
may have to be reconsidered and perhaps cancelled so that as the Minister made clear: 5

This means at the supply point at the water meter of the relevant property! If no supply
point exist then no charges should be applicable. I understand that GWMWater charge property
owners even if no water pipe connection and so no water meter exist. One may ask what legal
basis then exist to charge for services it doesnt render?
20
In my view for so far the EWOV cannot itself enforce Victorian Government Standards, etc,
against any offender (being it GWMWater or other water provider) then I view a special person
should be appointed who can exercise such powers and force GWMWater to comply, refund
monies, pay compensation and also who may even be authorised to take over the running and
management of a water provider to ensure that it shall within the shortest possible period of time 25
comply with Victorian Government Standards and other relevant legislative provisions. After all,
if it is under contract with the Victorian Government then I view the Victorian Government can
exercise such powers where a water provider fails to comply, in a similar manner when an
administrator is appointed to run a municipal/shire council (also corporations) where it fails to
conduct matters appropriately for and on behalf of the Victorian Government. 30

Despite an about 20 year battle with GWMWater about the lack of water quality nothing has
been improved. It seems that they do change CEOs and issue glossy yearly newsletters but in
reality do absolutely nothing about their failure to comply with legislative requirements. After all
why should they as if they get fined (unlikely) they will charge customers more to pay for it.
Obviously if one or more death were to be found relating to the failure to by GWMWater and/or 5
other water suppliers to have provided treated drink water then perhaps the management and
directors may face criminal charges of manslaughter, etc. But again, this is remotely likely as
they will hire big guns of expensive lawyers to try to blame likely victims and in any event
charge customers for the legal cost. While the WEOV (Water Energy Ombudsman Victoria) so
to say it sitting on its backside repeating the same question previous already provided answers to 10
we may suddenly end up with an avalanche of deaths and then too late for the victims.
In my view there ought to be legislation in place for a mandatory minimum 10 years of
imprisonment regarding anyone employed with and/or director of a water supplier who fails to
address/correct matters and a person dies as result. As such, if 3 people die then the person must
serve 3 times 10 years consecutive sentences total of 30 years without minimum! This I view is 15
the only way I view the thugs in water supply companies can be dealt with., when they are
willing to disregard the safety and health as well as the rights of their customers.
I for one hold it more important to address the lack of treated drink water as a paramount issue,
and gauging how peoples manage their health issues and then compare it with those who are
provided treated water versus those with treated water with fluoride then this may give a much 20
better indication what, if any benefits and/or negatives are derived from fluoride in drinking
eater.
