Vicki read your gas meter around the same time each day, deduct the previous reading to give the daily usage, multiply the daily usage by 38.61 MJ/cm to give Megajoules of gas used. The meter reading will be in digital format for Cubic Metres of gas. A dial readout for imperial format in Cubic Feet of gas and the multiplying factor is 1.09 to give Megajoules of gas used. Hope this helps.

The renting generation in the inner city electorates aren’t prospering.

That’s why they vote Green.

More fool them.

I used to think Kennett was just a ratbag.

Scratch and ratbag and find a fascist thug.

I note how Credlin, despite her excellent analysis in today’s Oz, omits any mention of Kennett, Guy, Crozier and Southwick even though they’re all deeply implicated in this ongoing shit show. They, along with little Johnny Pesutto, bear equal responsibility for this debacle. The whole thing, from day one, has been a train wreck, a completely avoidable train wreck. No wonder Vic Labor are laughing out loud, no wonder they’ve been in power since 2014.

I attended the Let Women Speak rally here in Sydney the week before the Melbourne debacle. Whilst no Nazis turned up, Antifa and Socialist Unity did turn up and the NSW Police kept them at bay. I shook Kellie-Jay Keen’s hand, does that make me a Nazi?

Hear this…

Kellie-Jay Keen is not a Nazi nor is she a Nazi sympathiser.

Moira Deeming is not a Nazi nor is she a Nazi sympathiser.

I am not a Nazi nor am I a Nazi sympathiser.

Got invited to a change.org petition to stop logging native bush by one Dr Sophie Scamps.
Anyone know if she is a Teal? I intend to give her a serve.

The High Court simply looked another way – disgraceful. Enough irregularities have since emerged and have been properly validated (and some corrected for this run) for there to be great suspicion still about the 2020 result.

So funny.
The majority of the judges were Trump appointments.
There have always been irregularities in the US electoral process, and there always will be whilst the people conducting the process are elected party officials.
No “validation” has occurred. Remember what happened with the Arizona audit?
The auditors released a report in September 2021, finding no proof of fraud and that their ballot recount increased Biden’s margin of victory by 360 votes. County election officials released a final report in January 2022 finding that nearly all of the auditors’ allegations of irregularities were false or misleading.
The MAGA mob only protest when they lose.
Show me one down ballot return where the Republicans lost and they questioned the result.
It’s kindergarten stuff.

A good summary of the 2020 election fraud:

Elections Have Consequences; Stolen Elections Have Catastrophes – American Thinker

Some of the stuff was censorship, soros style manipulation, actual fraud, false ballots, double counting etc, involvement of influential bastards like the 50 security shitheads who signed the letter saying Hunter’s lap top was russian which affected the votes of about 20% of the electorate. As well you had disappearing votes:

Since it’s Vicki, I recommend noting that this will give an approximate amount, since there will be a temperature correction factor too.

Thanks GreyRanga & John B.

Husband has in the last hour been on the phone to AGL – yet again – & they have basically said the same. He is still concerned about the way the calculations are made & the values that are supplied by the gas supplier.

Incidentally, husband figures it is costing around $20 per day to run our gas heating in the city. It is an aged Brivis that is fully ducted throughout the house – so obviously going to be expensive to run. But wow, just wow on that cost in 2024.

Vicki:“We were compelled to query the bill as it was astronomical in view of the fact that we spend very little of our life at our Sydney address.”

I got a gas bill from AGL that was 3 or 4 times ( I forget which ) bigger than normal. After insisting they re-read the meter, it came back the same. I rang them and kept escalating until I got someone is Australia to speak to. Then asked how it was even possible, given the usage history printed on the bill itself, that the usage could increase so much, given that there was only gas stove top and heater and this bill was for summer, and also that my neighbors and myself did not smell any gas leaks etc.
Eventually they relented without my needing to involve the energy omsbudsman. So all is not lost. Check your usage history (should be on the bill) and ask them to explain a sudden increase.
