Come on up to Texas for the next month. It will be around 100 degrees F today, that is about 37 degrees C to you.

Unfortunately, our country (and its environmental and climate policies) is run by a government - and a sad array of radio "shock-jocks", tabloid columnists and the "christian" right - who believe that the world's climate begins in Tasmania and end in Far North Queensland

Why WOULDN'T this esteemed panel of experts be more knowledgeable than the world's leading climate scientists ?

I don't like or support him either.

But he's still light-years ahead of anything the neo-fascist LNP can put up.

Our current electricity bill tells the story. It came in at $890.

On a slightly more positive note, our gas bill came in at $765.

Total : $1655

And winter's not over yet Cry

What? ... is that for the quarter?

If it is ....OMG! Shocked

That's way too much.

OMA!.......that's far too cheap for the quarter, she means per month.

You're having a lend Pansi?

Surely?

If that was monthly then it's proof positive that privatisation of the electricity generation industry
is an abject failure & people are being ripped off/gouged by exorbitant increases in energy pricing.

Oh hell yes.

Making 'essential services' a private industry concern in which the profit-motive is their top priority is a total betrayal of Australians' civil rights.

I guess its a sort of goes around comes around no win situation.

Live up north and have high electricity bills in the summer for air conditioning

Live down south and have high gas bills for winter central heating

if I had some of the Bills that you guys have I'd be ripping the electricity board off the wall and throwing it in the bin... Shocked

one of my biggest Gas bills was $120 ... we use if for cooking, heating and hot water... ( 2 months )

one of our biggest electricity bills before going Solar was $350 ... (per Quarter) hell I was pissed off about that.. Angry

but thanks to Labor ( idiots Grin

) I don't get a Power Bill at all and they send me $1500 every year...

Nobody seems to wear wool anymore. Mostly what I see is people in these fashionable synthetic knits, thin little things, that must give no warmth at all.

I know when we were kids it was the thing to go round with just a shirt on in winter, no jumper, no jacket. But that was because you had to be tough.

Nowadays I recommend people go online to Bendigo Woollen Mills for great jumpers etc at good prices.
