Robin Hood only robbed from the rich

Interesting - i presented data, and made three statements, the first two of which are true - on occasions we are cheapest, and on occasions we are dearest. I have to trust Rod Stewart for the last statement, but he's never steered me wrong before. I never claimed anything other than what i presented.
However, you said
When it's plainly obvious with the data i presented. Hell, it's a screenshot, it's not like i could mistype and falsify it.
I'll ignore your claim that a 1 in 6 occurence is rare, pray you're not invited to a game of Russian Roulette, and instead end with an assertion that it is you who so plainly want the power costs to be highest in SA, to fit your agenda. You're the only person here that has misrepresented data. It doesn't matter if SA is most expensive on average - it probably is - but to boldly claim that we aren't sometimes the cheapest when it's right in front of you is Trumpian in delusion.
Again, i see why the Liberals like supply-side economics.
Also, i don't know who Marty is.

Yep. Hated more within the Labor camps than Liberal too.
If he wins his seat and Libs win office, expect him to go independent.

That's true but I don't think they've thought this through too deeply as to how much it's going to hurt the "little" people that will be hit even harder than those they think they're targeting. Neither main party can be trusted any more , they're both as bad as one another.
This one's wrong because it uses single rate tariffs. I think it also excludes supply charges, or isn't clear on that or if that is incorporated into the price etc.This article from 15 Jan 2018. The indisputable truth is SA does have the dearest electricity for whatever reason.

Lets assume its right though. It still doesn't really explain how our prices got so high, for that you still need to go elsewhere. When you look there you find price gouging in the market, the rise of gas prices etc.
It gets annoying to have to explain this to you. Why don't you go and try and get to the bottom of the story rather than pushing a bandwagon?

If they’d just said it was for SMSFs then it would have been more palatable as it is normally those better off who have SMSFs.

Franked dividends have a franking credit which is essentially a tax credit for the shareholder on dividends where the company has already paid its own company tax at 30%
So at the end of the day, the franking credit means you personally pay top up tax, or receive a refund, based on the differential between your personal income tax rate, and the company tax rate
If you pay tax at 45%, you pay an extra 15%
If you pay tax at 15%, you’ll get a refund of 15%. Note this will still apply under Labors changes.
If you pay no tax, because you’re a pensioner earning below the tax free threshold, you currently get a refund of all the franking credits. This is what Shorten and Bowen want to take away.

Well do please excuse me...
I'd suggest the author of the article you referred to might have a clue or two re energy prices...

No different to what happened in Zimbabwe, under Robert Mugabe. Absolutely disgraceful.

Is it not incumbent on the other members of the Commonwealth to step in?

United Nations Human Rights Commission once again displaying it's a toothless tiger more to the point??
Not sure if it's actually a Human Rights issue. Land Rights definitely, but Human Rights?
This stemmed from Relapse stating electricity prices aren’t a SA issue but a national one. Yes they are but this doesn’t take away from the fact we are the most expensive for a majority of the time, the data you supplied supported it with 10 of 12 days and on many occasions much higher.
You provided the data with a claim sometimes we are the cheapest, woopee, 2 out of 12 times we were just cheaper. In the scheme of the debate that is insignificant, surely you can see that?

They'd better explain this better than they have so far because they will get destroyed at the next polls. They've already given the Libs a free kick and taken pressure off of Turnbull.

Making trams turn right at the busiest intersection in Adelaide? I'd rather they stuck to doing nothing.

I got a robocall last night telling me Jay W has a secret plan to raise the GST to 15%
It must be a bloody good plan, last i heard all the states & territories had to agree to get it to move
Not sure if it will be effective as a scare campaign - it's a bit out of nowhere

One SA Lib. policy that has been overlooked and would be devastating for small business, is the deregulation of shopping hours. If this went ahead, being pushed by the likes of Woolies and Coles, then the small grocer (even the IGA's and Woodland), butcher, baker could be forced out of business.
There has been a fair bit of discussion on local radio and of course all small businesses saying they would be destroyed.
Adelaide is too small to try and be like the bigger cities of the world. Even Poland has decided to close all large shops on a Sunday. The UK's biggest supermarket chain is also not open on Sundays, the same in Germany regarding large shopping centres or cities.
