Feb 1 = Ban the Bulb Day

I've never seen them under 150W, and therefore exempt, have you?

value ?

I expect that most suppliers won't have a clue about it, and will happily continue to import through eager suppliers. Customs may not even notice or care (if they do even check stuff), esp when the pleb that checks sees they are "just lightbulbs". So with any luck it'll all just end up as one of those stupid hidden laws that no-one knows or cares about, and we can forget all this silliness.

** Wot absurd crap !!!!!!!

All lamp importers & suppliers were notified long ago of the proposals and the new law.

** That is absurd.

All lamp importers & suppliers were notified of the proposals and the new law.

Seems none of them put up even the tiniest fight against it - cos it suited them financially to go along.

** Australian Customs are fully aware of the new law and will be enforcing it.
** D. L. Jerkoff has posted absurd drivel here before

- but this LOAD of UTTER SHIT takes the bloody cake !!!!

Laws making RETAIL SALE of the same lamps ILLEGAL in all states will be on place by the end of this year.

Any shopkeeper with them on offer after November 2009 can be fined and stock confiscated.

** Anyone as ABSURDLY narcissistic as David L. Jones should be locked up for his own protection.

And ours.

One idiot that lived a few houses from me when I was a kid used to carry a cigarette lighter to shoot about a six foot flame, till one set his pants on fire. He wasn't paying attention to the slight breeze was blowing the wrong way, and the flame wrapped around both sides of him. :)

Did he quit after that or check wind direction in future?

Bet he wasn't troubled by butt crispies.

All Phil's usual dribble snipped.

I thought that might get you all riled up and foaming Phil, thanks for the laugh!

Can't wait to see you going around with your plastic badge dobbing in all these hardened crims selling illegal light bulbs. Perhaps you'll get your mug on Today Tonight or A Current Affair as a special investigative reporter, now that would sure make for some hilarious television! Good luck.

The local Safeway and Coles had No Stock last night of BC standard light bulbs, except for 5 left at Coles, 100watt, which I bought. They had plenty of ES though in all the usual wattages. The room on the shelves which the banned bulbs took up has already been replaced with other stuff. They had some reflector types in BC though.
