Yeah, Western Australia.

And of course not! As mentioned - the rule has even recently been extended to 'protect' people like us who live semi off-grid, with rainwater capture for drinking and a septic system.

Australians really seem to loooooove rules.

And of course, for the most part, nobody's actually checking this stuff and people pay varying levels of attention to the rules. Seems like a waste of time all round.

Selectively enforcing the rules is another classic Aussie trait.
