no, actually i'm not.

you are saying to me that you have been working your arse off to find solutions - that is what we need (in other words, i applaud you and your work)

what we didn't need are politicians who have taken this long to listen to people like yourself and implement those solutions. (i.e. the 'Cabinet', who as you put it, are not on your side)

All I hear is winge winge winge, ITS A DROUGHT not some scheme by the Gov to pull us in line, people are going out of business, football feilds are dying and all you care about is washing you car?? Your not worried about flushing the toilet or wearing clean clothes, JUST OMG MY CAR IS DIRTY.

Seriously, research has shown that being clean all the time is not as good for you as you might think, there are chemicals the body produces over time that are good for your skin....

I'm all for saving water and have now completely stayed away from washing my car at home which was one of religious activities every weekend..but how can they justify the following??

"Water price rises ranging from 13 to 22 per cent will push costs up an average $71 a year.

Queensland Water Commissioner Elizabeth Nosworthy said that by 2012-13 a typical household's annual water cost would increase from $355 to $876 - an increase of 147 per cent.

Ms Nosworthy said the price rise was justified because the $8 billion investment in new infrastructure would provide better services and secure water for the long term"

If water was sold at market value like every thing else no one would be able to afford it

There is two ways of controlling usage for scarce resources regulation or market

Market is offering incentives to use less like rebates on tanks ect and raising the price

Regulation is compliance action over excessive users

Sadly the easy option has been taken
