So it's election year and stealth taxes are good for Shonkey and co.
Said stealth taxes being price increases for electricity and line charges.
That provides the gummint with a bigger dividend and more GST.
Scratching through my papers, I note that the last increase was just
six months ago.
It is also said that improving the bottom line of the energy companies
will help in Shonkey's plans to hock them off, as they will look good
on paper. Yet allowing these rorts to continue does seem to play into
the watermelon reds' plans to put the brakes on this dominant position
exploitation of consumers.
Why should we care?
Well, as some pundits have said, competition for the dollars of buyers
can be wider than ordinarily expected. Our tenants will soon find that
there is less money for other things, including rent, after they pay the
latest rip-off to assorted lines and energy companies that were set up
in a competitive market (kidding!) by a certain twerp called Bradford.
Whose efforts, in hindsight, may have been more focused on maxing
the profits of energy companies.
Previous tenures with the Bankers Assn and Employers Fed may be
where he learned about bilking people for all they're worth.
Is there something else behind this? I.e. the CPI will go up so the RNBZ
will use it as an excuse to increase interest rates? Something else?
Wouldn't you all love to be able to increase rents every six months?
