Abbot is screwing us on power.
According to +GoSwitch
ANNUAL household gas and electricity bills are set to surge by up to $250 from January 1, 2015.
Victorian homes and small businesses will be slugged with average price rises at least twice the inflation rate, and some at almost five times the CPI.
Savings from the axed carbon tax will be substantially eroded, and in some cases eradicated.
Major retailers have revealed gas charges, which are rising dramatically as domestic prices are linked to the international market, will climb 5.5 to 10 per cent.
Average power increases range from 3.8 to 9.7 per cent, depending on the company and customer location.
EnergyAustralia, AGL and Powerdirect are mainly blaming electricity distribution and wholesale gas costs for their announced rate changes.
St Vincent de Paul Society energy analyst Gavin Dufty estimated combined gas and electricity annual costs would rise $150 to $250 for a typical “dual-fuel” home.
All-electric houses faced a rise of $100 to $230.
====================
All I know is, I sure as hell didn't vote for Tony Abbott and his #COALition, I saw through his lies of how "removing the carbon tax will reduce bills" and I even accurately predicted that even with the carbon tax gone, the price would in fact go UP, not down.
Remember this next election, Put the Liberals Last. It's where they put you.
