Anthony O'Brien from Energy Australia says that is time taken up doing
activities such as shaving, playing with toys, singing, daydreaming
and brushing teeth.

"That's an activity that perhaps people can look at whether they need
to do that in the shower or whether they can just do it over the
sink," he said.


What a thick dipstick.
So, what is the difference between the water running continuously in the
hand basin whilst you shave and/or clean your teeth and it running
continuously in the shower for the extra time it takes to shave and/or
clean your teeth,.


Coming up to a long hot summer and I've just had Integral Energy out to
butcher my street side shade trees, including one poor struggling
Melaleuca amarillis[1] that would need a tone of dynamite to have a
icecube in hell's chance of touching the powerline.


[1] Yes, I know they can grow into a medium tree, in wet area, but we
are on a sandstone ridge and it has intense root competion with half the
dripzone covered by road and guttering and has done little other than
survive for 20 years.

Yeah you need a university education to make statements like that. It
seems like a lot of fake certificates were issued so the Government can
make them look important. Or is that impotent?
They are also capable of making other crazy laws so people get ripped of
and use their position to throw farmers of the land and buy up
properties really cheaply when a drought hits.
Then charge you for rain water when they claim the runoff would be
theirs if they hadnt built dams.
Your Government and Corporations.
Walking hand in hand
to screw the land...
