Dude McAwesome posted:Can one of you informed people explain the Medicare freeze to me? Yes It's been like $37 since 2013 which means that more and more doctors are either reducing service to fit in more patients or abandoning bulk billing and taking a smaller Medicare rebate in exchange for ~$50 gap payments.

The best bit of the Medicare rebate freeze is that it is offloading GP visits onto emergency departments (and thus state govt budgets)

The other one is that anyone who borrowed to 80% lvr at the peak of the market will no longer have enough equity to refinance so they are stuck with whatever lender they chose for the foreseeable future. Particularly since at the 5 year mark you still aren't paying off enough capital to keep above the 80% mark in a falling market.

I run aircon all the time in our 3 bed house with a small child and 270 for 2 months is a runaway bill for us. Do you have led lights everywhere? They can be bought for a few bucks, last for years and use like 5W each.

bandaid.friend posted:I have a quarterly bill for 633 in front of me but I am dumb and run an oil heater on max, like, the entire time I'm home. I use a quarter of the power in summer as winter Those things are terrible, you'd probably do better with a lovely portable reverse cycle dealy from Kogan. I know an oil heater costs like $50 instead of $500 but you are converting 1kw of power into appx 1kw of heating. With the reverse cycle it's more like 1kw of power into 2.5kw of heating (at the low end) You just said your normal bill is like $200, so presumably your heating bill is $600-800 a year - halving that is a big saving

We’ve got hundreds of kids off Nauru and we’ll continue to do that in the way that we’ve been getting about it and we’ll continue to maintain the integrity of strong border protection policies. You don’t get kids off Nauru by putting more on, by having weak border policies. So that’s been a key focus. They have been getting kids of Nauru in two key ways 1. Having them die 2. Having them get old enough to be classed as adults

fiery_valkyrie posted:Coal. Actually most coal plants are not dispatchable Dispatchable means it can be turned on and off quickly, big coal generators are not that - they need to burn a bunch of diesel (and time) to actually light up the coal and get to temperature. Things like gas turbines, batteries and hydro plants are what is classed as dispatchable power.
