FIRST Parks Victoria ignores the problem of a submerged car, hoping it will just quietly slip beneath the surface of St Georges Lake.

When they can no longer ignore it, they come out with a truly pathetic bunch of excuses for doing nothing; "safety", "practicability" and "bank damage".
Are these the same people who can rebuild a whole dam, yet they can't organise themselves to drag a car out of the lake? Who can sculpt 100 cubic metres of rock, but are defeated by a car body? Are Parks Victoria really that incapable?
If so, they should hang their heads in shame.
Far bigger vehicles are recovered daily from far worse situations, yet Parks Victoria invests more energy in dreaming up bogus excuses why they can't do anything than simply getting on and solving the problem.
I have single-handedly relocated multi-tonne objects I have been assured were "impossible" to move.
Given a truck with a winch, 100m of cable, a punt and a firefighting pump, I will be happy to demonstrate to Parks Victoria how one old bloke can single-handedly get that car body out of the lake in a day.
