Just got my electricity bill for the quarter. It was 400. This time last year it was 200. I used less electricity this quarter than the same time last year. I had to call them to dispute the cost. They agreed to charge me the same as last year as prices only increased 8 days prior to my meter read. They tried to charge me double!! For less use!! They will try and rip off anyone. Call them and dispute your bill as they don't want to lose you as a customer. For 200 a quarter the only thing running in my house 24/7 is my fridge. I live alone and do not heat or cool my home. I refuse to have bill shock.

Purely corrupt

So right, massive shortage of rental and with the new budget continuing to decline and our hospitals are not coping anywhere. NSW central coast is in a terrible way.
@
How do we get this government out?? Why the actual fuck do we not have full fixed interest rates like the USA why do banks have to rack in the cash at our expense. Then show billions in profit.
@
20:00 Clearly the IOC appears to have no morals. They must not compete under the Russian flag. If they do, they're effectively representing their government. It's effectively the same as implementing a ban on Russian imports due to their illegal war in Ukraine.
@
Absolute disgrace that Russia will be able to compete at the Olympics.
@
Chris Bowen is lying. another labor minister lying like Anthony Albanese does.

Where's the security at the press conference ?
That could have been a bomb instead of a banner
Wtf !
I think Labor had a hand in that disgusting banner placement.
@
Don't forget who the stupid people were that changed the RBA in the first place Paul. Never should have had the panel system or whatever it's called at all
@
Albo has no standards
@
Inflation is both deliberate and permanent. So long as fiat currency is a thing, inflation will exist.
@
Don’t tell the people how bad things are economically, so we will continue spending money and tell the RBA to not tell the truth on the economy and the we control media and ban the internet. Welcome to Russia, I mean Australia
@
Not surprised. Just got an email my home gas is going up in price. Everything is just is just chipping away at any kind of saving I figure out. Guess I'll see if I can find a cheaper company, if possible.
@
RBA just goes over their heads, they are so corrupt they can't see the forest for the trees - they essentially get into office and steal everything that's not tied down, not cuz they care, but to hold onto power - they disgust most ppl in Australia! Criticism does not concern or deter them, but their flaws still need to be called out!
@
One nation
@
Note you said, Com minister cut short on her holiday? Again on holidays? Most likely again on tax money. Nothing's changed.
@
Pure corruption
@
So many lies, so much corruption. Stop the government spending, cut immigration.

I am starting to think that Australia is currently in the Truman show, surely the people in charge are not actually this stupid, they will suddenly bring down the stage and say it was all just a reality TV show, or even a SNL skit.
