I also just received my notice re electricity and calculated that on my last account it will increase by $6.15 per week.
The council have forecast that their rubbish collection costs will increase due to the carbon tax on tips but have not given a figure yet
As to the electricity if that is my cost it is obvious that every shop that I go into will have had a similar increase and will put their costs up to pay for it
Therefore the government experts are either outright liars or pathetically stupid because the extra cost of $9.00 that they calculated to cost me for the carbon tax is so far out of whack that it defies description
