The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (Registration Fees) Bill 2013 is a crucial bill. It is about the efficiency of shower heads, and it is worth noting what this means in our nation. This really is a housekeeping bill; it is about getting our labelling system correct. We have been through it a number of times, actually, so I will just commend the bill to the Senate.
