With the US result some friends and I have been discussing who the worst PM was/is.

    WA still owns its power grid. My power bills in WA are far cheaper than they were in Victoria. These two facts are probably related.

    Also, the WA government reserves a stash of gas for local reservation before companies are allowed to sell the rest “at market rate”. That gas belongs to everyone, not just the company that extracts it. This policy also helps to keep energy prices in WA reasonable.
