Life support needs more attention

MY PARENTS are now into five days without power, and I have the below questions which hopefully Russell (Broadbent), Danny (O’Brien), Jacinta (Allan) and Madeleine (King) will table in parliament.

1. Why is this the third time for greater than five consecutive days we lost power in the last two and a half years as in my fifty-year history we have lost a day due to storms but the third time for greater than five consecutive days in under three years is now a joke.

2. Why do I lodge life support for mum and dad in Whitelaw because mum has limited life with Parkinsons PSP, and all medical reports given to AusNet but in a storm we don’t hear from AusNet as the Life Support system fails the elderly and sick.

3. Is the next storm a big storm or obviously the system has been run into the ground with privatisation and profits go overseas and not back into infrastructure and maintenance as the government get hit with bills to fix a privatised system.

4. Lucky last is why aren’t AusNet supporting their life support customers.
