Same deal here in NSW, 18% rise coming soon.
We recently had a smart meter installed, so we now have three rates throughout the day. Our peak (2pm - 7pm weekdays) will soon be 50 cents/kwh.
I've begun putting what I can on timers so they don't run in peak times, and preferably so they run during the off-peak period (10pm - 7am) which will be costing around 10 cents/kwh.
We have a neighbour who leaves about 500 watts worth of indoors lights, plus a large plasma TV on 24 hours/day. I don't know how he manages to pay for his electricity wastage!
Cheers,
Jason.
