BREAKING: Brendan Banfield caught watering plants with hose during total fire ban – “does common sense not exist anymore?”
Well, well, well. Look who thinks the rules don’t apply to them. Brendan Banfield, the same bloke who argued with the council about his hedge height last month, is now busy hosing down his petunias while the whole suburb is under a total fire ban. I saw him myself at 3pm Wednesday, standing there with his hose like a disobedient child. Total fire ban means NO outdoor water use unless you’re fighting a fire—that’s not common sense, that’s plain selfishness. We’re all sweating through heatwave conditions, conserving water for emergencies, and Brendan is out there treating his garden like a private oasis. I hope the rangers see this and slap him with a fine that makes his wallet hurt. Some people just don’t get it.
