Power bills have become a growing source of stress for Aussie families and businesses. Many families are forced to make impossible choices: three in 10 parents are struggling to afford basics like food, electricity and insurance. Government rebates provided some relief, but this was only a band-aid solution.

    Capitalism is the reason.

    Price stability only exists in a world where we nationalised energy infrastructure.

    How will we pay for it? Wow, tax. Wow. What a novel idea. Maybe we’ll actually get paid for our natural resources. What an idea.

      We don’t even need to pay tax for it. If you take the capitalism out of it and create a government monopoly; we still pay for the service, and it gets put towards funding the service.

      Take out the Executive Salaries and other unnecessary overheads and it is much more cost effective.
