Commenting on "Household power bills to rise"
http://frankston-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/comments/household-power-bills-to-rise/
For every $100 shown in the electricity bill, $9 is the carbon tax, or 10% of the actual usage. We must not forget than use of electricity incurs 10% GST too.
Since I am not on pension, and do not have any pay cheque, any tax cut will not benefit me. It seems that all the utility companies are taking a round robin approach in price increases, at a rate higher than the CPI.
