Poor old mhaze, he thinks everyone pays the same price for electricity. He believes Woolworth are paying the same as he is, a nobody little consumer to the big power companies. AND he also believes everyone's bill went up by 6.3%, probably all on the same day, btw happy birthday for yesterday mhaze, 1st August. Well news for you, Woolworths would be on a far better rate for power than little old consumers like you

there would be an immediate $70 billion saving
Says Paul1405,
Introduce public Service bureaucrat positions based on need & merit & three times more than that could be saved.
Their salaries alone would save that much, add to that stopping them from wasting through incompetence & indifference & you could double that again.

I wonder what special deals Woolworths get on electricity. The same as those businesses closing down or leaving Australia because we have some of the most expensive electricity in the world? Electricity is now a major cost of doing business, and obviously has to be passed on to the customer.

Paul wrote: " he thinks everyone pays the same price for electricity. "

Well I specifically said the opposite to that, but we all know Paul's relationship to the facts, let alone reality, is non-existent.

Business pays more for electricity than individual consumers. And they don't get any of the subsidies doled out by the government to try to hide their failure to deliver the promised price cuts.

"AND he also believes everyone's bill went up by 6.3%, probably all on the same day,"

Paul's a dill but why does he have to show it on a daily basis. Not that he'll understand but the 6.3% increase in electricity costs occurred on average over the whole country over the 12 months to 30 June 2024. But numbers for Paul are like hieroglyphics.

True. The rich are being heavily subsidised by taxpayers. They are given billions every year to exterminate koalas and vandalise the Great Dividing Range by building wind and solar factories.

If you believe that wind and solar generate the cheapest power then you should be concerned with rising power prices. The price should be falling. You're being ripped off!

Hi Fester,
The elite get the government to sign off and make the people to pay for the improvements they want.
Australia is projected to have a decade of deficit spending.
