Abbott 'caught out' on use of pensioner's power bill By chief political correspondent Simon Cullen Updated 2 hours 28 minutes ago Question Time in Federal Parliament today returned to the more regular themes of the carbon tax and the economy, after yesterday's extraordinary move to try to force Peter Slipper out of the Speaker's role. But Labor says Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has been caught out in his use of a "pensioner's" electricity bill as part of his anti-carbon tax campaign. In questioning the Prime Minister about Hetty Verolme's bill, Mr Abbott said the customer "nearly had a heart attack" when she got her most recent power bill. It had more than doubled since her previous bill to $1,563 for the months of June and July, and Mr Abbott wanted to know what advice Julia Gillard had for the Perth pensioner. He followed up with a supplementary question: "With an $800 increase in just one bill of which 70 per cent is due to the carbon tax, how can the Prime Minister possibly claim that Hetty Verolme's compensation is in any way adequate?" Labor challenged Mr Abbott to table the bill in Parliament so it could verify Mr Abbott's claims, meaning it has now been made publicly available. An electricity consumption graph on the side of the bill shows that most of the increase was due to a dramatic increase in power usage at Mrs Verolme's home. It also includes a note saying that electricity prices had increased on July 1 by 2.255 cents per unit because of the carbon tax, which "represents an estimated increase of 9.13 per cent for an average daily usage of 15.89 units". That is less than the Treasury forecast of a 10 per cent increase in electricity costs because of the carbon tax. "Once again, the Leader of the Opposition caught out just like he was on Whyalla, caught out just like he was on the coal industry, caught out just like he was on lamb roasts, peddling fear (and) peddling reckless negativity," Ms Gillard told Parliament. "The one thing you'll never hear from the Leader of the Opposition is anything that sounds like the truth about carbon pricing. "The Opposition knows that the increase around the country has been what was predicted - 10 per cent or less."

Andrei and Tony both lie. Show us the bill Andrei, clear your name.

People are still waiting for the sky to fall in.     ;D

Hey " tomatoes " are expensive nowadays, a nice little hydro set up could save an old dear a fortune.

Don't you love anecdotal evidence? In spirit with the nongs here I am happy to post a picture of mine when it arrives.

I'll be reserving broader judgement until the September quarter Consumer Price Index is released.

Good idea, Shane, but what about Abbott deliberately misleading the parliament.

Yes, Shane B, but will you be posting the bill from your Canberra or Darwin residence?

Please explain.

Thanks, love. You’re in now. Is one month enough time, you think?

I'll have a full quarterly bill. Have been keeping up this house in Canberra and the studio apartment in Darwin. I can flitter between the two destinations as it suits.

Great. And we’ll need to see a Dunedin bill as a comparison, thanks.

And the cafe of a friend in Burleigh Heads, please. We’ll need a broad sample group.

Well the real question is
"How's Mario at Lavanders fairing
Has the S&P Squid tripled in price?

CYBER-BULLIES TARGET LOCAL BUSINESS - Newcastle Herald

Facebook and Twitter activists have attacked the popular Lavenders Resturant with  threatening emails, following its support of radio personality, Alan Jones.  "We’ve had our inbox clogged with  ridiculous messages, many of them violent and threatening", head chef and proprietor, Mario, said yesterday.

"It’s nothing more than an attack on freedom of speach, headed by the lynch-mob down in Canberra."

Mario is a regular contributer to Mr Jones’ program. "We discuss the issues of the day and I announce the specials. That’s it. Alan is a great bloke."

Mario would not discuss Mr Jones’ comments about the Prime Minister, where Mr Jones said that the Prime Minister’s father had "died of shame." That’s between Alan and Julia Gillard. I just want to provide the best dining experience to my customers with all the best local produce. We’ve got some marvellous calimari in now, and our wedges are to die for. We’re famous for them."

Bookings can be made online. Check Lavenders’ website for details.

It's possible, Skippy, but I don't think Matty will be going back to Darwin. He's now in New Zealand avoiding the carbon tax. He'll be coming back for the next election, but will he return to Darwin? That's the question on everyone's lips.

My guess is he'd return to Ryde or Hornsby - his father has real estate in both suburbs.

But still, I'm not ruling out a move to Canberra very, very soon.

Thoughts?

It wasn't deliberate, the man is a moron. ;)
