G'day guys,
I decided to get to the bottom of the ban on light bulbs today and see if it applied to party bulbs, like everyone has been saying it does. I called the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts in Canberra and explained our situation. She investigated the matter and just called me back...coloured party bulbs are not part of the ban. If your supplier tries to tell you there are, get them to call the DEWHA and they will set them straight. I also explained to her that some electrical wholesalers were saying they are phasing them out and she said she would organise a mail out to them explaining that they aren't.
You beauty!
