Why are the water tank rebates in Victoria so low? In queensland the rebates are much higher. Does the Vic government not want to see residents install water tanks? If rebates were higher than more people would install them. Makes no sense the $150 rebate would not even cover the basic cost of PVC fittings to get the water in the tank.
