Energy companies are ripping us off

All of us need electricity, it’s an essential service. But too many Victorians are being gouged by energy companies using snakey tricks to rip us off.  

Energy companies are making record profits.  They use all sorts of snakey tricks to overcomplicate their “offers” and rip us off!

We don’t need their fake discounts, hidden penalty fees, inflated prices and huge mark-ups for simply sending you the bill.  Any we’re also paying for those adverts everywhere we look - it all ends up on the bill.

Energy companies are making record profits.  They use all sorts of snakey tricks to overcomplicate their “offers” and rip us off!

We don’t need their fake discounts, hidden penalty fees, inflated prices and huge mark-ups for simply sending you the bill.  Any we’re also paying for those adverts everywhere we look - it all ends up on the bill.

The consumer watch-dog the ACCC, and a Victorian independent report have both found that the energy market is not delivering the low prices it should.

Thankfully a solution to stop their snakey tactics is on the table.

Let's give Victorians a Basic Service Offer, or “BSO”. This would be a no-nonsense, independently set, guaranteed fair price that would be offered to everyone to make sure we are not being ripped off. We can set and forget. That’s how energy should be. 

Join Consumer Action by urging your local MP to support the Basic Service Offer.
