I heard from a reliable source that they had their Aircon on this morning WP that is...........Keep It On The Rough Stuff

Yeah total Crock if you ask me, I'm going home this arvo and my Air con is going on. If the power goes off, I've got the big Genset from work fully load with ULP and loaded in the back of the 4by. Air con and TV IS on tonight!

Yes, I was wondering myself about Western Power and their aircons!! How good is it, you work your ring off, pay your dues, then save up your hard earned cash to install an aircon for a little bit of luxury. keeps the missus off your back, kids leave you alone and then our backward society says you can't run them. Great, i have $5000 of aircon on my roof, not worth *&^% all today!! i can't wait to be able to put it on IN WINTER. What next??

Are you guys serious?.... No A/C if it is 35 degrees or more?....___________________________________

power restrictions, water restrictions, what next?

How long would a private company last that actually advertised for its customers to stop using its products (WA has both water and power restrictions - and TV adverts to telling us to conserve both) !!!

And our really bright spark pollies want to privatise Western Power. Imagine the restrictions and price increases that would bring about. But at least if it was a private company, the shareholders would sack top management for being so utterly incompetent.

Instead we have leather chair polishing bueracrats telling us to turn off kindy and school airconditioners so my 4 & 6 year old kids suffer in this humid heat while they swan around in their air conditioned offices and cars telling us its "our fault" for using too much power.

Am I livid, too bloody right!!! At least in the National Australia Bank fiasco the top brass fell on their swords. Watch the pollies and bueracrats blame everyone but themselves for this fiasco.

WA always has and will continue to have hot weather in summer, yet they cannot seem to work out how much power we need (here's a tip, see what the peak was last year and add 10% for starters).

Cheers (with cold drink in hand)

Try living in Sydney.

Water is disappearing (restrictions in place) and the greens will not agree to the state govt buiding a new damn dam where they want to. Their votes would count so fait acompli.

New trains don't work so have been withdrawn.
Safety systems have been turned off for some reason so we end up with trains running into each other and killing passengers.
Now the drivers are refusing overtime so 80 trains a day are being cancelled.
Guess what - fares are going up.

Everyone has resorted to their cars so traffic goes nowhere (so what is new in NSW)

Don't go to public hospital (some of them anyway) you may not survive apparently.

We have a couple of groups shooting each other.

We have another group rioting against the boys in blue.

Kids are cooking in classrooms but we cannot afford airconditioners for the future of our country - or the electrical system is too old to handle air-conditioning or something and they cannot afford to replace it all. Teacher sare also upset about pay rates so guess what is coming there.

However:-

Fire engines seem to be running.

Parking inspectors appear to be healthy and active.

No bush fires to speak of this year

The jack is running O'K so I am off to the South Coast soon.

I guess you get what you vote for
