We should blame ourselves for this situation. When state governments wanted to sell off our electricity generation industry, did you hear an outcry from the public.....no, not even a murmur.
How is it that governments (which are only there for 5 minutes or so) are allowed to sell off an industry which has taken generations (no pun intended) to establish? They didn't ask our permission....they just went about things, as if we didn't exist.
Should we now demand the return to public ownership of these essential services?. We used to have some of the cheapest electricity in the world....now it's up there with the most expensive.
Someone once said....'the price of freedom is eternal vigilance'. Well, we now have to pay the price of our neglect.
