Had a similar problem, EMC. The new meter reader couldn’t be bothered pushing away a few leaves, and gave us an “estimate” for the quarter. HUGE difficulties in getting past those nice people, to eventually find someone who reduced the bill by about $200, based on actual consumption..
Not unlike Conan Doyle’s no shit, Shelrock! story, “The Seven percent Solution”, highly detailed missing of the dog’s balls..err..sorry, not yours FDotM.
I find the Carbon Pricing ‘debate’ depressing. No discussion on the merits of Carbon pricing as a means of reducing Carbon emissions to meet Australia’s bipartisan target. No discussion of the form that pricing has been implemented. No discussion of the Oppositions alternative ‘Direct Action’ plan. Opposition spokespeople don’t argue that this will help us reach the target with less cost and pain. No suggestions that we should drop the target. No discussion that we should not try to curb emissions but adapt to a warmer world. In fact, there is no real discussion on whether warming is happening except from those with vested commercial or political interests in blocking or delaying action, although the Opposition appears to be aligning itself with the forces that say there is no problem. All we hear absurd bluster and hyperbole, gloom and doom, the end of the world as we know it because your electricity bill’s going up and it’s all that terrible Juliar’s fault. Why isn’t anyone looking at the Opposition’s plans to address Climate Change? Why does the Opposition have a multi-billion dollar ‘Direct Action’ plan that no credible commentator thinks will work address a problem that about half of Opposition members don’t believe exists?
