[OZAPRS] smart meters ?

[Scott Evans]

Here in Tasmania these so called smart meters (they go by the title of
Pay-As-You-Go) are in fact (for the average user) a complete ripoff as
you pay a standing charge to compensate for the fact that they no longer
come to read the meter! to see just how wrong they (Aurora Energy) have
this whole concept wrong just take a look at the pricing and then do the
math, you soon discover that unless you do the majority of your
electrical requirements in the early hours of the morning you are in
fact paying more per Kwh than standard metered usage here in Tasmania...

So who is the smart one?
