The Australian government and local authorities don't listen to our calls for CFL bulbs and the like to be scrapped. New Zealand have repealed their call to replace Incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs and it is about time that the Rudd government listened to reason. We can't even get an exemption from using CFL bulbs and a means to purchase Incandescent bulbs for our use.
