Wow, the Lib-Nat Federal Government must be getting very bloody DESPERATE, they going to budget for Aussie Pensioners, like myself, to receive a 'One OFF' gift(?) of $75 for Singles and $150 for couples to 'OFF-SET' our frigging exorbitant Electricity bills.
Jeez Louise, will their generousity(?) ever cease?
My Electricity bill comes to around $650 per 3 months to which I pay $100 per fortnight BEFORE I even get my pension and they believe a POXY $75 'One Off' gift(???) is going to help with that.
Get your hand off it Freydenberg, that $75 works out to either paying installments of $18.75 every 3 months for just 1 ( ONE) year or one payment of your poxy $75 for 1 quarterly bill, both are about as much use and help as pissing on a raging bush-fire would be.

Running a close second to the one the Nationals candidate ran in the recent N.S.W. election with his 'promise' of $250 Regional Seniors Transport card IF they got elected that is.
In terms of size to respective bill pathetic though I wonder how you use $650/quarter - I'm normally $200-230 / quarter. - I don't use air con or electric heating.
My current gripe is paying almost as much for delivery as for consumption as we now have huge qualities of power produced at local wind farms.

Other than my wood-burning heater in my loungeroom, my house, sadly, is 100% electric dependent plus I often make wooden toys, etc, for needy kids and use some power tools for that as well.
@Triphid ? You probably have a far greater delivery charge as well. I think mine is about $1.44 /day. Just got my gas today - consumption 2 months $2 delivery $46!
@FrayedBear I get 'gas' everyday and still have to pay GST for it when I buy the food that causes it....LOL.
@Triphid have you tried a slug of organic vinegar to get your digestive system working ok?
@FrayedBear I was being humorous actually.
@Triphid yeah humus has me reaching if not retching for the vinegar also.
@FrayedBear sorry typo, I meant humorous.
@Triphid How's your lopsidedness? I was only pulling your leg!?
@FrayedBear i'm always lopsided since my right leg, due to a fractured femur back in the 70's, is about an inch shorter than my left.
