The biggest government sponsored fraud in our country

[silverfaun]

SINCE 2007, household electricity prices in Australia have risen by more than 40 per cent and by next year are projected to rise by around about 30 per cent. If this bothers you then the place you should be today is Canberra, joining the people's revolution against what Alby Schultz MP says is the "biggest government sponsored fraud in the history of our country".

our last electricity bill was $331 for the quarter.  this is in a household with mulitple computers, two tvs, two fridges and lots of lights as well as a reverse cycle air con which in on quite a bit.  my bill is lower than some i had a couple of years ago.  it certainly may rise in Qld but that is due to good old campbell bjelke petersen.

IKEA renames dining table in recognition of Queensland ALP election result

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA has renamed its 6-seater dining table the “Queensland Labor Party” in recognition of the state’s historic election result. Breaking from the tradition of using obscure Nordic names for their products, the furniture giant says it wanted to commemorate the ALP’s landmark achievement in a relevant way.

“At IKEA we’ve always been known for our innovative products and our constant pursuit of the unique and the novel. Winning just six seats in a state election is certainly novel” an IKEA spokeswoman said.

IKEA has sent one of the tables to Queensland Labor headquarters and hopes it will be used for future full-party meetings (an armchair was sent for shadow cabinet meetings).

A Labor Party spokesman, who didn’t want to be named, said while he appreciated the gesture, he worried that assembling the table, virtually from scratch, would be a tough ask. “All we’ve been sent is a couple of pieces of wood, some screws and an Allen key. The rebuilding task is going to be mammoth” he said.

The table is available at all Australian IKEA stores.
