    Your final $75 electricity lifeline arrives in October—just as power prices surge up to 10 per cent

    I have to disagree, I live in housing trust. The trust replaced all my gas appliances with electrical, no gas anymore, and I have found over the three months that my electricity bill is significantly cheaper and no gas to pay. This is great for me and I would recommend going all electric if possible

    This is very relevant to hear and I really wish we would do more for tree conservation. When I moved into my house 20 years ago there were large trees on the fence line , that were old and had been purposely left when the houses were built . They were on the neighbours property, but council...
