Oh and I forgot to mention....

Amongst the news stories about flooding rivers setting a certain brewery's christmas display adrift (imagine the baby Jesus walking on water and a fibreglass whale making a break for freedom towards the sea), and constant news stories about either SA-based AFL teams, Adelaide television had something else that we don't have here in the east. These are government-funded tele campaigns with Tim Flannery urging South Australians to turn of their lights when they're not in a room, and turn off their computers when they're not in use. Complete with a "This initiative forms part of the SA strategic plan" sped-up message at the end of the Ad. Is anyone else aware of this sort of thing happening elsewhere in Oz? I just can't imagine the NSW govt ever sponsoring such a campaign...
