Some industries, including schools, hospitals and commercial nurseries, are exempt from the reduction.In a statement, Mr Kelly said the plan would minimise the impact of climate change. "Can Water Corp, who of course stands to gain enormous amounts of revenue from people switching over to hand watering, can it cope with this big increase?""People are going to go, 'oh we can't water the garden, let's not have one, or we'll put succulents or cacti in.'
how can it make perth hotter?
Sorry but these people aren't experts. Green gardens in a water rationed environment have been a thing for years. WA just needs to catch up

(Bring on the Republic, Jamaica and Australia! 🇯🇲🇦🇺) The British empire has done awful things in the past. We have the knowledge now and we still choose to be part of it? Disgraceful Safe to say that it's rather silly to expect 'celebrating' colonialism from communities who still are marginalised from such colonialism.
