Media statement:

More than 400 residents from across NSW gathered outside AGL Energy's head office in North Sydney this morning to demand an end to AGL's controversial coal seam gas projects in Gloucester and Camden.

The residents, many who had travelled together by bus from Gloucester, were joined by concerned Sydneysiders and members of GetUp. Today marks the 100th consecutive week of community protests at AGL's head office demanding an end to CSG in NSW.

GetUp’s Better Power Campaign Director Lily Dempster, who is leading the organisation’s call for consumers to turn their backs on energy retailers still investing in dirty energy, said it was disappointing that CEO Andrew Vesey had refused an invitation from Groundswell Gloucester to address the gathering today.

“People from all walks of life have gathered outside of AGL today and over the past 100 weeks to show the community finds the threats of coal seam gas to our agricultural land, our precious water resources and our communities simply unacceptable,” she said.

“It’s risky business for communities such as Gloucester and Camden, and it’s increasingly risky business for investors too.

“The company is currently reviewing its coal seam gas investments and has a prime opportunity to get out of harmful coal seam gas projects for good.

“We know one of the most effective ways of placing pressure is through consumer action. If you are an AGL customer you're in a powerful position to help pressure this company to get out of CSG and start supporting cleaner, safer renewable energy instead," she said.

Professor Rufus Clarke is a former AGL customer who has switched power provider through the Better Power campaign.

“In April this year my wife and I became aware of the influence that companies like AGL have on public policy, for example in Prime Minister Abbott’s reneging on his pre-election promise not to cut the Renewable Energy Target, and his persistent attacks on the renewable energy industry.

“Ecological responsibility cuts no ice with these companies; the only thing they understand is losing market share. So we switched to Powershop for our electricity supply. We are paying no more per kilowatt hour than we were with AGL.

“I urge others to do as we have done, to switch their energy supplies away from those who pollute the atmosphere and the aquifers – it’s the only message that the companies that pollute, and their shareholders, will understand,” Prof Clarke said.

To date the Better Power campaign has switched 12,000 customers from AGL and other big polluting companies including EnergyAustralia and Origin Energy.

John Howard and Peter Costello have reigned over the large part of 14 years of economic growth in Australia.

How will they fair when the money dries up though?

Howard and Costello - Good or just lucky?

How-to-Vote cards handed out by volunteers for the 'independent grassroots' (i.e. left wing) lobby group GetUp urging a vote away from the Liberal Party and towards Labor and The Greens in the Pearce electorate under the guise of public healthcare funding. These ran in parallel with volunteers for the Labor Party and Greens handing out their own cards at the same booths.

GetUp ran campaigns in several targeted marginal or conservative-held electorates primarily on global warming but in some electorates it was disguised as healthcare campaigning as follows:

• Cook, NSW on climate;

• Cowper, NSW on climate;

• Hughes, NSW on climate;

• Hume, NSW on climate;

• Robertson, NSW on climate;

• Warringah, NSW on climate and voting out Tony Abbott;

• Wentworth on climate;

• Flinders, VIC on climate;

• Kooyong, VIC on climate;

• Menzies, VIC on healthcare;

• Dawson, QLD on healthcare;

• Dickson, QLD on healthcare

• Boothby, SA on climate;

• Grey, SA on climate;

• Mayo, SA on climate;

• Canning, WA on climate;

• Pearce, WA on healthcare; and

• Clark, TAS on climate.

The Division of Pearce was first contested as a new electorate at the 1990 Federal Election due to population growth in Western Australia. It is a combination of urban areas in Perth's north and northeast as well as country towns Lancelin, Gingin, Toodyay plus Northam, York and Beverley to the east of Perth. It has been held by the Liberal Party for its existence but was made made marginal at the 2016 election with Labor voting booths on the urban fringe.

The expected Labor win overall saw resources put into this electorate by Labor plus activist group GetUp and the ACTU handing out material recommending a Labor or Green vote. The vote count that night saw an unexpected Liberal win Federally with a swing back to Porter in the Pearce electorate.

We were chatting with the salesman in Domayne in CBR the other day about why one must buy a SoundBar when you have already spent 1000s $ on a new TV!!

I old standard Def Panasonic TV is still OK and has good sound built-in!!!

Anyway, we then noticed they were selling this same transistor radio that we had bought years ago in Tasmania for $45

Here it was going for $69.99 !! since it was a SALE at Domayne, we suggested a better price and he marked the display item down to $35 for us.

We had just bought Mary a new HP desktop PC so.....

Advice from someone with a budget to our elected representatives this morning. This was directed at our federal politicians who were due to vote on a controversial bill dealing with what has become known as "border security" in poli-speak. The vote was withdrawn by the government when it realised it did not have the numbers in the senate.

This was spread over a lot of sky, so this is a 4-shot stitch ('panorama') at my widest lens setting 24mm.

Please tell me what you think...positive or negative. I felt pretty comfortable in this cute sexy getup!

What a faaaabulous getup for the walking dead!
