.....no wonder the economy's farked.....

The rest of the world would love to have an economy as farked as ours. We don't know when we have it good - too busy whinging about how tough it all is…

Hate to revisit this but the situation here in Qld has changed and I am pissed.
Because so many people put in solar panels ,to save the world , the electricity company's are now making less money and the shareholders are suffering.
The government has decided to fix this and is proposing to change the way consumers are charged.
There is now to be a fixed charge [ which will go up every year forever ] and the cost of electricity will go down as per pre election promises.
The fixed charge is expected to start at $250 a year.
They say it's only fair as the normal customer has been subsidizing the solar panel owners.
So I ,who built a house that uses 60% LESS than the local average with NO solar panels , will now be paying more so that the high end user will not be subsidizing my power bill  ???
I will now have to pay $250 more a year because I wanted to NOT be a burden on this planet , because I did the right thing , because I gave a FU*K.
User pays  ??? Yer right.
 Fuc*in Arseho*es.

Kevin Rudd once said that home grown terrorists could be a problem and I say that home made ones could be worse.

Even so Montynut , it should be a % of the bill not the whole amount . But then again our leaders ( Joke ) are so bankrupt they will do anything for some more cash .

Tasmania had the opportunity to reverse that and to be a provider instead of a user , thus creating wealth for the apple isle , and the great forward thinking BOB BROWN and his gay green mates scotched that idea.
