The Liberals are over-run with LINO Lefties and they should be called out and shown the door. David_Speers Minister_Harwin Junk science, at odds with Morrison government.

Power bills cut for half a million Aussie families, businessesMany Victorian and NSW households whose standing offers from their energy provider had lapsed will see a drop in their bills, the energy minister says. And what will the federal government do to reduce prices in WA and the NT? JulieBishopMP SteveIronsMP KenWyattMP They would have to halve before they are reasonable. For everyone. Anyone who gets a cut as the result of this move is already paying 50-60% more than they should be. These so-called 'standard rates' are an enormous rip off and can be dramatically reduced simply by asking for the discount. Ripoff companies rely on consumers not bothering to ask.
