In the
week beginning on Monday the 13th
of January 2014, Melbourne (and Victoria for that matter) has experienced one
of the hottest periods on record in over 100 years, with the temperatures in the 40's, there can be no denial
whatsoever with regards to accuracy of the event.
What is
most concerning is the lies that follow after the even with regards to the availability
of electricity to households.
The Australian
government regularly provides false information to ‘consumers’ or the general
public either indirectly or via its many registered businesses, e.g. Victoria
Police falsified crime statistics, the official unemployment rate (official
figure for Victoria as f Dec 2013 at 6.3%) is falsified by the Australian government
to ‘entice’ the economy (read government registered businesses).
There is no 'mandate' to provide accurate information nor is there any Act that gives a financial penalty for providing false information

Most
Victorians should be familiar with the fact that most of the electricity
generated is from the south eastern part of Victoria where Hazelwood, Loy Yang
and Yallourn power stations reside.
There are also many other power stations scattered throughout the state, which are gas turbine, gas thermal /reciprocating and hydro electric.

During the
past generation (25 years) Melbourne has grown 30% in population according to
official figures.
During this period there has been little or no infrastructure projects to cater for the expanding population with regards to water storage / electricity generation, except for the controversial ‘Money for Mates’ fraudulent businesses dealings of the desalination plant at Wonthagi.
In order to
save on operating costs, power companies ration the supply of electricity, to
domestic customers (but NOT industry), creating greater profit for the
companies and their directors, at the expense of providing an ‘essential
service’ that what electricity falls under.
During the ‘heat
waves’ which inevitably happen every summer at various periods, and have been
happening, the public are to blame for greater electricity usage, each year, e.g. by
turning on air conditioners, by the corporate media / corporations, instead of focusing on the
lack of provision of an ‘essential service’ by the ‘corporations’.
What the corporate media also fail to mention is that Melbourne also has a power station in the bayside industrial suburb of Newport.
The Newport
power station ( gas thermal - 500MW capacity) is literally idling constantly, as it is cheaper to have it idle,
than turning it off and back on again, but power is NOT really supplied to customers,
as the corporations would have to purchase the electricity, but rather power is cut by the corporations to households in order to maximise
their profits.
