AND THE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT IN DANNY ANDREWS’ VICTORIA..

AND THE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT IN DANNY ANDREWS’ VICTORIA..

Let there be light!

I was reminiscing about the Bee Gees old romantic song “When the Lights All Went Out in Massachusetts” and couldn’t help thinking that there is nothing at all romantic about Victoria’s lights flickering on the verge of extinction. Why does it take S.M.H. journalist, Cole Latimer and Sky News Presenter, Rita Panahi, standing in, with such style and panache, for Peta Credlin last evening, to highlight the scandal of the Andrews’ government’s mismanagement of Victoria’s power? And for that matter, the way the Federal Government is mismanaging Australia’s power?

According to the Essential Services Commission, 60,732 consumers in Victoria have had their power cut off. Power prices are up 16% in the last quarter. In addition around 100,000 people have entered into “hardship” agreements for inability to pay power bills averaging around $1,400, most of whom have failed to pay and been tossed out of the programme.

This monkey thinks you are seriously nuts, (despite the fact that monkeys usually like nuts). Your country sits on energy reserves that would be the envy of most, and yet you have the highest power prices placing your residents in poverty.

I just hope the zoo will be able to keep the lights on and the tills powered up to take your money, or I will be in huge trouble

Gibber! Gibber!

  1. Agh, nuts to you, Chugley!
    You don’t understand big monkey business – privatisation makes everything more competitive and affordable!…doesn’t it?

    1. Could have fooled me, but I probably don’t! But it doesn’t seem to be doing too well. America owes about 22 Trillion dollars, I read somewhere. That’s a lot of bananas. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley

  2. Dear Chugley; I write this quickly perchance my lights go out. First time my lights went, was when I got into a scrap at Primary School. Another story, another time. Why can’t the “powers that be” see that China is building coal power stations (which apparently are fairly clean) and firing them with the lovely coal that we dig up and sell to them. They then have lots of power to make steel, aluminum and all sorts of other things, so that they can make solar panels and wind turbines etc. etc. We then spend a lot of the ‘coal money’ buying these things, which boosts China’s a economy no end and creates lots of jobs there. Meanwhile, we suffer, trying to fix the world’s climate change problem, of which we contribute about 1% or less. Of course, the climate is changing, I read about the ice age at school. No coal power stations then. “What does the Bible say about climate change?” We read the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, who lives in Egypt during a time of temporary regional shifts in the climate. Not only does he predict changes in weather patterns, he develops a plan of how to look after the people. That’s what we want, is a new plan, based on good common sense. Well that’s how this creature sees it.
