GST exemption for tampons do not help me. I am a man...
Please do not do "does not help me" argument to question actions. Hear that everywhere - no, not every action is helping me. But they help _us_.
E.g. I am living in an apartment - I just cannot live off-grid.
You will benefit from other actions, not this one.

One call, & they were suddenly cheaper across the board - as a valued customer for years I was paying more than new customers - or smarter customers, who'd haggled, or threatened to take their business elsewhere. I knew this happened. 🤦 I just didn't realise how much I was being overcharged. 🤦
I'll be watching my #PowerBills very closely from now on!

Soon Australia will have community batteries and solar banks, so renters, apartment owners can also start the migration.
