Electricity demand pricing "racket". Listening to the radio: The demand pricing looks at your smart meter usage in 30 minute blocks 24 hours a day.

I was just looking at the ABC online news site and see a man aged 63 years of age has been charged with over 70 historical sexual assault charges relating to four different women who were all aged under 16 years at the time of the alleged assaults.

It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault', 'you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowled...
