Just watching Close-Up and it looks like Liarbour and the Greens look set to kill the power shower.
New energy efficiency standards due next year mean that typical new and upgraded shower installations will just give out 6 or 7.5 litres a second as opposed to 15 litres a second at the moment.
Jeannette Fitzsimons, who is pushing the move, is sceptical and saying such standards are not compulsory if householders take other measures to save energy.
But it's like the problem with those so called energy efficient lightbulbs that contain the deadly mercury.
First they contain deadly mercury and they are not good at giving out light.
And with these powerless showers, won't it take longer to rinse of the soap, shampoo and other crap, so you have to shower longer?
Won't it all be self defeating and fail to work?
And why should Nanny be in our bathrooms too?
What else will Liarbour nanny on next, given the chance?
UPDATE: It will be like life down on the farm, notes Homepaddock.

If i had a girl like that in my shower i would want it to go slow and take its time too!
Does that mean Liarbour is red blooded too, or do their leaders just like girls?
Oh. My. God.
Are they insane? Ultimate in Nanny Statism - I happen to like my powerful shower, and I pay for the energy from it, which is going to increase with their stupid carbon tax (which will do zero to solve a problem that doesn't exist anyway).
Piss off out of my bathroom.
Next thing we know, we won't be allowed showers at all, let alone baths!
To take these people seriously (not an easy task, I admit :), what intrigues me is:
Why do the keep picking on ordinary people doing ordinary things (light bulbs, showers) when the statistics show that the "savings" are minuscule in the overall scheme of things anyway? (this apart from their damn busybody mentality). Why don't they go after major users and effect major savings?
Actually, I think I know the answers to my own questions... :)
Why don't Labour ration toilet paper why they are at it?
If Nanny looks that good, she can use my shower anytime, for as long as she likes. Hell, I'd even restrict the water flow myself. Now where was that toby?
And I might even put up with her picking on the ordinary fella on other matters.
Yes, but Nanny looks like Helen Clark!
You won't want her in your shower.
But the point is, once more the government meddles in the nooks and crannies of our everyday lives and the policy will have little positive impact.
I see the plumbers are unhappy too.
Can't Liarbore and their watermelon friends just fuck off as David farrar so eloquently put it?

As usual, you guys have got it wrong. This is a standard, not a ban, and there are several ways to meet the standard.
I posted on this over at g.blog earlier today.
