Probably did the same in several other countries using a similar technique.

We then lost the last Aussie made solar panel but I do have 18 of them on my roof.

There's still one left - Tindo Solar Australia

Hmm you are right, how about changing the name slightly

Young one reckons he saw $2.32 locally for unleaded yesterday

That's pretty nuts. Almost time to ring the insurance company and add the remaining jerry in the garage to the home and contents as an individual item

Pretty soon prices like that are going to start breaking things

Gas: just got the bill. I have a young one studying interstate, so the gas bill is now down to 2/3s of consumption... nice! But the bill is higher... the gas cost itself up 16% on the January bill period, the service charge up 14% (how? did the intert line already placed suddenly get more expensive? Meters depreciated slower?)

Again, there will be a point things begin to break

Govco says, 'yeah, it'll be right, you'll have green energy by <insert some time in the far future>, the pioneers went cold, too.'

Shouted a jerry to the Land Rover and went and did some excellently tough, muddy local tracks - post covid car fun! No urban hooning at all. There's nothing like the sound of a V8 crackling at limits in a quiet valley lol At current prices that's $46 well spent
