Inner suburbs face power bill shock

HOUSEHOLDS in Melbourne's inner suburbs are likely to face a greater increase in electricity costs than other Victorians with bills to rise by up to 15 per cent after the July 1 start of the carbon price.
 
Data from the state's three major energy retailers suggests that an average household within the CitiPower distribution area - which stretches from Port Melbourne in the west to Balwyn in the east, and Brunswick and Northcote in the north to Caulfield and St Kilda in the south - can expect a slightly larger rise than equivalent homes elsewhere.

While the federal Treasury predicted the increase due to the carbon price scheme would be 10 per cent, the actual rise in Victoria's deregulated electricity market is decided by the retailers and is based on factors beyond the new laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Julia Gillard prior to government election 'promised' there will be no Carbon (Dioxide) Tax.

What false information that was.

Julia Gillard mentioned that the country's top 500 companies will pay, and the 'tax' will not be apssed on to consumers.

Another fraudulent statement.

Then the government says it will implement 'Carbon Cops', that will (protect?) the consumer. 

Another lie.

Just another Money for Mates deal at the highest level.

Nothing more simpler than fraud, that the corporate media is 'reluctant' to report.
