Power still out. Cat is sleeping in, still in bed. Iâve tried to hide the lack of sleep eye bags with make up. Not sure how to hide the âsleepy brain not workingâ thoâŠ.. today gonna be shitty.
Oh Mittens that's rough. I hope your power comes back soon.
Bugger, has it been out since last Tuesday?
Sure has. Latest incident update says âunder constructionâ so doesnât sound like a quick fix.
If it's still out by tomorrow I would look into the government assistance package that you ma be entitled to for having no power for 1 week.
"The Victorian and Australian Governments will make available a Prolonged Power Outage Payment to households and small businesses without power for 7 days as a result of last Tuesdayâs storms.
A payment of $1,920 per week will be extended to all eligible households (residential customers) that remain without power as of 12:01am Tuesday 20 February 2024.
Households who may be eligible will be proactively notified by their distribution business. Funding will be allocated through a payment application process, by which residential customers will be invited to apply for the payment. The payment will be administered by distribution businesses and will help families buy much-needed basic items and find alternative accommodation to get through this difficult period.
For small businesses (those with a Victorian payroll less than $10 million a year) who are affected, payments of $2,927 per week will be made.
Payments for households and businesses will be available for up to 3 weeks.
Distribution businesses will proactively message impacted customers, and publish information on their website on eligibility criteria, as well as information on how these payments will be applied."
I think this makes you eligible for the rebate if itâs still out tonight?
