  1. What else is new?

    Using a dishwasher can help save water for Australia despite the fact mega-companies using way beyond what they pay for and get slapped on the wrist for doing so?

  2. Albo is good at making legislation with the biggest widest open holes ripe for abuse… 

    I bet if you dig a little he or someone he’s friends with owns one of these.

  3. I dare anyone to show me an important piece of legislation without exemptions or loopholes.

  4. Ahh yes! Nothing screams Australia like copying the United States emission laws to exempt giant Ute’s, but force it on smaller, more efficient vehicles that serve 99% of scenarios. What a time to be alive!!
