Urban water rights exist...for some

Clause 2 does not apply to rain that falls on roofs in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory, representing more than 72% of Australians.

Clause 2 is incorrect and requires amending.

Rainwater tanks are a cost effective source of urban drinking water supply, provided economies of scale in manufacturing, installation, consumer financing, marketing

and sales are achieved.

Government subsidies for installation and plumbing of rainwater tanks are not required, and have never been required, and fortunately, most government programs are now terminated.

It is now possible to conduct mass marketing of rainwater supply in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory, without undue market interference by government.
