It can also be said about the water rates in SA, or greater Adelaide at least. You see, they built twice the size desalination plant (bipartisan support). And because it requires constant flow of water to maintain its operation, SA water is profiting to the sum of $200million by over charging any residence which has a mains pipe running past your property, whether your connected or not..all the while the desal pumps water out to sea, because there's excess supply!. Between the new stadium, the most expensive new hospital in the world and the desal plant, there's hardly any money left to provide secure electricity because renewables have created a false economy by providing cheap power when the state needs a reliable supply not the cheapest.
