Non Eels blog but wtf
It looks like everyone's Electricity bill will rise by at least 40% from 1st of July this year. I've noticed that mine went up from a flat rate of 29c per klw to something like 40c, they stating that wholesale prices are rising & some bs about extreme weather wtf, and infrastructure upgrades.
I've shopped around on the net yesterday and found prices as cheap as 29c to 33c
The daily charges also went up from 70c to 121c, almost double mother fkrs.
Anyways, all the best in finding better deals.
It looks like inflation will go through the roof aswell, as major companies aren't going to absorb these price rises easily.

We are on the Mid North Coast with Essential Energy as the network operator, and our prices are going up about 10%. Rates are:
Usage 36c/kWh
Daily Connection $1.69
Right in middle of winter, with summer and warmer weather around the corner aircon will be on more. I am feeling it more and more since having my 6 month old, as we never really used heater in winter but are now with the little one we have it on a lot including a panel heater in our room as he sleeps.
And i consider myself the lucky one with both myself and my wife earning good money. Imagine those with one income and two or more kids?
Mate, I used one of those panels heaters with my little one around the time around the clock thinking it wouldn't use much. I received the largest bill shock of my life .
We are getting screwed everywhere it's going to be impossible to live at this rate in a few years time
In a country with basically unlimited natural resources and sun. Ahaha
Country run by imbeciles since John Howard
We are the imbeciles. Global warming is happening, no stoppimg it now. We need to stop fucking about and protest these price rises with vigor. Imagine the bottom 10% dealing with this on top of groceries. Where is the fucking power money going? The inflation rate does not match my cost increases the last 12-18 months
Unlimited land aswell, yet they're now squeezing families into 300 square meter blocks. Imbecile governments for 30 years
Put the monkeys in their little cages
It's all about Climate Change/Global Warming. Death by a thousand cuts.
One of the biggest frauds ever perpetuated on the global population. Even bigger than COVID.
