The election must be getting close when the government starts giving away electricity to everyone?!?

Buying votes.

Why not just lower taxes instead? Like all those random ones that were supposed to get replaced by the GST.

Hope THAT disease spreads to NSW as quickly as the Aboriginal Revolution Virus....

All that warm feeling towards our homegrowns - gone in a single putsch by governments elect and unelect to force on us what we voted down....

There go the foundations of our democracy - still awaiting birth as it was in reality - and clearly now to be still-born from the rubble of the 1960's odd 'quiet revolutions' - a time of hopes and dreams for a real future for Australia - through the violent days of the 'feminist' revolt (sire, sire - they're revolting now!!   They always have been, Baldrick...) .. the vile intrusions of wrongful government policies in countless way, and all designed to undermine the political power and personal and social power of the individual and family (unless you are a Mediterraneo Patriarchal family which now owns all the houses and businesses and you dorks fight one another over who should handle the credit card in the house, run the family, which creche to send your kids to for indoctrination, or feel validated or something... Mama she feel invalidated alla time, but she suck it up  for da family ...

Hear me, O Critias... that once within the Pillars of Sydney Heads there dwelt a race of giants, of gods walking the earth..... a civilisation of growing nobility and benefit for all; of culture and science ..... all destroyed in a single day and a single night of flame and flood....... the flames of whiners left and right.... and floods of tears and vitriol that now substitute for discussion ..... and lo, they have become Death, Destroyer of Words .... and no trace of it remains as the clouds from the everlasting eruptions of madness grow darker and darker and the light ahead dimmer ....

Hear me, O Critias!!  Your opportunity is here and now - it will not come again .............. not in your lifetime, or your children's or your grand-children's .... and there is no noble warrior to ride out of the West to save you all this time ...... you must save yourselves ....

Last month's bill was $18. I suppose $1000 will last me about 7 months, given that my regular power bill is about $140.
