Peter (exfso) you did get your point across, some are just blinded by their lights.
And we don't even have a carbon tax added in .....yet.
Now that will really test many as more will be forced to candle lit nights cooking over a wood burning stove, exagerration? it's already happening.
Mike you are correct today we do live in a truely priveleged country, problem is just about everyone else in the world wants some of it. So maybe tomorrow we will become part of the lowest common denominator through our desire to help others? Being so goody goody what do we do - slowly and surely we send our wealth, inventions and manufacturing overseas or give it away and then find another way to tax ourselves for the privelege, other countries must think we are nuts!
What kind of Australia will my grandaughter and her children have in 20 years is cause for my concern today.
We are being taxed to blazes through mostly useless self interested government hell bent on winning the next election, telling us that privatisation of essentials like electricity etc will save us $, a complete croc, my electricity cost has increased significantly 'cause some government twits can talk the talk and justify it.
1.3 billion without power in the world is just side stepping this threads title and I believe intent, the cost of electricity is starting to hurt. While the massive rise in the cost of electricity may not be a concern to some with a gazillion cables hanging off a dozen scopes, to many out there it is hurting terribly on top of other rising costs.
Wake up Australia we are being taken for a ride and paying the price for public wastage on a grand scale.
