Magenta Appel-Pye, Mullumbimby.
This year they are implementing a pension assets test for the hoi polloi whilst the fat cat bureaucrats sit back for the rest of their lives, licking the cream with their excessive, non-means tested pensions. I guess there’s little we can do about that.
Then there’s the Chinese multi-billionaire who bought the Victorian electricity distributor. Every time a Victorian turns on their lights, he makes more money. Unfortunately, as reported by Four Corners, he shirks paying tax and when looked into offers the ATO a tenth of what he owes, and they accept and are silenced.
This is the perfect example of why owning our own power company is so important. Enova is doing an excellent job and will keep growing. They are to be congratulated on the excellent business model they have incorporated. They will make money, as business must, but they also have ethics and invest heavily back into the area in which we live.
This model of business is what is needed to change the world from rampant greed and capitalism gone to it’s worst extreme where the very rich are prospering and everyone else is floundering.
Thank you Enova for giving us the chance to make powerful choices that directly influence our families. This enables us get the power back into the right hands and ensures a prosperous community.
Let’s hope one day this model is incorporated everywhere and money, the power-god of our times, is more equitably spread.
