      When I was a kid, all the light bulbs were either 60w or 100w, every appliance was inefficient, and no one gave a shit if you left the lights on all day because power wasn’t expensive. Of course those were the ‘bad’ old days when the ‘socialist’ government power companies generated power at cost and it everyone benefited. Thank god the Coalition improved the system by putting in a bunch of middlemen companies to take massive profits instead, phew.

    Here come more calls for Tas to decouple from the energy market. Tas Networks pegging our prices to a % of Vic is some bullshit. I understand why they did it, but it’s some bullshit.

    A decade of hands off coalition government has brought about this bullshit.

    The time to fix this was years ago. Government inaction has caused this.

    Here’s what I’m getting as an increase.

    Now that we’re in July, hopefully the government’s Energy Made Easy site will have current amounts so we can shop around.

      I believe they’ve all updated now. The beta version of the site is very good, by the way. I recommend trying it out.
