I love the Alinta stmt:
“In a statement to the ABC, Alinta Energy said the provider aims to provide "competitive, good value offers" across all markets.

"We're also transparent about changes, writing to customers in advance with details of their new rates, how they compare to the reference price, and other options available," a spokesperson said.”

Like…. We’re compasionate and transparent. We will let you know before we flog the skin off you or bury you — your choice.
