So let me get this straight — we bailed out the banks, printed billions, and now Grandma has to choose between heating and eating? Great work everyone 👏

River Cole2026-07-21T19:45:56.000Z

right. But they'll just say 'it's global inflation' while taking a pay rise.

Grey Power been warning about this for years. But nah, let's just keep importing more people and jacking up rates.

My nan's electric bill tripled. She's scared to use the heater. It's bloody criminal.

Stuff2026-07-21T20:40:56.000Z

yer nan's ok. It's disgusting.

Power up 12%? Yeah but executive bonuses went up 30% I bet. Classic.

These poor older folk deserve better. Time we looked after our elderly properly.

Facts. They're all the same — talk big, do nothing.

Honest question — what's the government actually doing about this? Asking for a friend who's not on a gold card.

Blake Turner2026-07-21T21:20:56.000Z

Solar panels and firewood. That's what I did. Stop complaining and adapt.

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T22:10:56.000Z

if you're 80 and own a house. Otherwise nah.

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T22:16:56.000Z

Solar's not an option when you're renting. Or over 80. Get real.

James O’Brien2026-07-21T21:35:56.000Z

Yeah cos everyone can just drop $10k on solar. Top thinking mate 🙄

Peyton Hall2026-07-21T21:47:56.000Z

Mean while Winston's off on another junket. Useless.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T22:20:56.000Z

Luca Reid2026-07-21T22:26:56.000Z
