Using a hosepipe to water a garden, water plants, fill a pond or clean outdoor surfaces are all banned as are filling and maintaining ornamental fountains.

Disabled people with blue badges are exempt,

Never mind, they were using hoses to spray the lawns outside Parliament House yesterday and I'm sure that warms the hearts of us all.

Grass areas for the olympics and paralympics also exempt, blue badge holders getting a double helping.

I'm going to make myself a blue badge, if you got one you can get anything it seems.

Thats a decent plan, makes parking very easy.

Worth more than a police badge nowadays.

We should have a badge for this place:

Why the fuck are disabled blue badge holders exempt?

"I'm a cripple, therefore I need to water my lawn"

Eh?

Doesn't make sense to me, same as discounts on toll bridges!!!!!

Couldn't they just dribble over the lawn?

I have visions of them being wheeled down the garden and getting jetwashed.

Behave, that cant be the reason

Perhaps it's because cripples need more water to survive, so they need to top up the excess fluid on the brain?

Someone in work has suggested it may be because cripps cant carry heavy watering cans from the kitchen/bathroom in the house?

Why can't they?

Guessing because of disability. A big watering can of water is much heavier than holding the end of a hosepipe

Then again, not everyone with a blue badge falls into this category, so a big sweeping brush being applied here.

I suppose someone with Parkinsons would find watering a large area with a hose much easier than watering a large area with a watering can.
