#EnergyProviders #QLDRebate #ElectricityCosts
Just received an email from Dodo about my electricity bill and I couldn’t help but notice the significant increase in connection costs and a slight reduction in their rates. 🤔 Are energy providers trying to eat up all of the QLD $1000 rebate with sneaky tactics like this?
Here are a few things to consider and possible solutions:
– Check your current electricity plan and compare it with others to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
– Consider switching providers if you find a better offer that won’t eat up your rebate.
– Stay informed about any changes in your plan to ensure you’re not being overcharged.
Let’s share our thoughts and tips to help each other make the most out of the QLD rebate! 💡 #EnergySavings #TipsAndTricks
Yes of course, did you actually think Gov was going to pay you, haha ita basically a form of money laundering.
Raise by $1, lower by $0.30. Claim “We lowered our prices!” due to government subsidies.
Yes. Energy providers will lure you in then milk you until your on your knees. Like all other aspects of society. Don’t you forget it!.
In theory competition is supposed to stop practices like this. And I laughed and I laughed.
Change providers, that’s disgusting.
Exact same here and rung up asking if they would lower they said no so I left
Of course it will. The rebate is just corporate welfare disguised as a benefit to consumers. Sickening if you think about it too much.
Personally wouldn’t touch anything Dodo ever again. Worst internet provider I ever had. Then they went bust. Don’t know whether all this Dodo kicking around lately is the same mob or someone who thought one of the most damaged brands in Australia was a good one for their new company. Either way, not for me thanks.
You deserve it for using dodo
Shop around bud
You can go on the standard retail contract that all retailers must offer. That stops this from happening. And you’ll only have a price change as of 01 July each year.
Of course they will. This is nothing more than the government taking our tax dollars that could’ve been spent on services and infrastructure to improve our quality of life and giving it to private companies. It does nothing more than kick the can of the cost of living crisis further down the road without addressing any of the root causes.
Yes. Just as 1st home owners incentives go to developers.
It’s very surprising people don’t get this.
All providers are ramping up connection fees due to solar power. Unless you disconnect from the grid we are stuck with this bullshit. Double so if you’re a renter (like me) and can’t get a place with solar power.
Yes they will, I’m with globird energy who have been quite cheap but of course they have also raised their prices to the tune of about 30%….I think any provider is upping their rates at the moment so I’m waiting until the next financial year to let the dust settle and shop around.
Exact same thing happened with the child care subsidy, the government announced an extra rebate then next week the child care centre upped prices by the exact amount, but it’s ok because “you won’t even notice” it’s not verbatim but it’s what was implied.
Got me beat how this stuff happens yet we seem powerless to stop it, all these companies have to do is pull out some half baked report saying things cost a lot so that makes it ok.
The rebates are for energy companies. Remember when the 4c off a litre was introduced and those petrol stations magically became 4c more expensive?
You bet they will. It’s the whole reason we have an energy market – Clarke and Dawe can help
Just got an email from AGL saying the rate is going up. So yeah, I guess.
Yes absolutely. It’s why these sorts of payments are worse than useless, like rent assistance
it’s like the $10k home grant, all house prices went up by 10k or more instantly
energy costs have been rising since covid
All rebates. Grants. Offers. Every government incentive benefits business. It’s capitalism we think it’s democracy. Take for example the electric car push. It benefits leasing companies why not just offer everyone a tax refund on the purchase? That would give the consumer, the citizen all the benefit but our democracy instead creates a scheme to return tax money to companies and calls it leasing.

I mean… ask yourself if you were the energy provider whether you would eat up the whole rebate. I bet you would, and I bet they will.
