Of course you would rather maintain the status quo on electricity capability of the poles and wires and go without airconditioning and a host of other electrical devices in your home, that consume ever more power.

We don't use Aircons or heaters, we do have fans but they don't use much, neither does opening windows. Why should I pay so people that want to live in a climate controlled environ can? The doubling and more of electricity prices is not due to the price on carbon, which is what you were insinuating.

Same reason u pay for 8 lane freeways and only use one lane. Gold plating is good, it could also be called future proofing but the retards led by Gillard couldn't spin it that way.

So you agree we should have stuck with Labors NBN then?

No, he's right...too much gold plating going on...(drove on one a few months back hardly anyone on it) those 8 lane freeways (or more latterly feeways)... cut them back to 2 lanes and sell off the excess land to pay for increases to welfare payments.

That made me smile, good to see some of you have a sense of humour.
