St Vincent de Paul Victorian President Jim Grealish shares his concerns for those on or below the poverty line in 2010.  He says that Victorian Govt Smart Meters will hurt the disadvantaged most.  When interviewed on the ABC on the 27th Jan he shared his grave concerns for those doing it hard.

Have a listen and see for your self, it is towards the end of the interview. http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/newsradio/audio/20091228-stvincent.mp3

Member for Burwood Bob Stensholt supports higher electricity costs for households.  His support of the new "Smart Meters" will hurt the most vulnerable in Boroondara, those on and below the poverty line will pay more for electricity.  Did Bob speak out for those people?  No, he supported the party line as he always does. Labors plan for these meters will disadvantage the poor, even in Ashburton an Alamain.

Seems to me that the worst place to be in Burwood is between Bob and the Party Line.
