Oi, gather round! Here’s a tale from New South Wales that’s got folks steaming like a kettle on the boil. Anthony, a tradie, nearly fell over when he ripped open his water bill—what was usually a cool 300 bucks had skyrocketed to an eye-watering $15,000! That’s more water than he’d use if he turned his place into a swimming pool! Smells fishy, right?
He’s up in arms, telling the council they’ve got it all wrong, claiming he’s just a regular Joe using water for the usual—showering, washing up, and a bit for the garden. Anthony and his old man even rocked up to the council to give them a piece of their mind but ended up being told everything’s tip-top with their meters.
Now, Anthony’s putting his foot down, refusing to fork over the cash for what he calls an “utter disgrace”. He’s set to duke it out at the next council meeting, ready to prove he hasn’t been pouring their water down the drain.
So, next time you grumble about your bills, spare a thought for Anthony—it could always be worse!
