    A decade of hands off coalition government has brought about this bullshit.

    The time to fix this was years ago. Government inaction has caused this.

      When I was a kid, all the light bulbs were either 60w or 100w, every appliance was inefficient, and no one gave a shit if you left the lights on all day because power wasn’t expensive. Of course those were the ‘bad’ old days when the ‘socialist’ government power companies generated power at cost and it everyone benefited. Thank god the Coalition improved the system by putting in a bunch of middlemen companies to take massive profits instead, phew.
