AU: Government Departments Have Been Wasting Water

Certain Government departments have increased their water consumption while most of us are trying to save water as best we can. As a whole, the Government, increased their water consumption by 25% in the past financial year i.e. 137 million litres of water.

The Department of Education and Training was the worst offender by almost doubling its usage.

We would like to congratulate The Department of Sustainability and Environment, however, because it was the only department to cut its water use: by 6.1 million litres.

The Government should be more responsible. It would be interesting to find out what they used the water for: was it all for watering their lawns?!

I find it a bit "so not fair!" that we are being sanctioned and punished while the Government is so reckless with its water consumption! I do believe we are all in this together, right?
