@GMegalogenis No mate. It's time my team got up - go the Saints

@Telstra because you can't connect my internet after an apartment move (and can't seem to diagnose or realise there is a problem) I now have to go into the office and not work from home. As CEO of Energy Consumers Australia I can't wait around any longer for you to connect me

[Lynne Gallagher @lynnegallagher_]

@Telstra moved house. 4 days trying on chat and 4 hours tonight on 24/7 chat can't get internet connected. And no way to contact you. BTW your chat also doesn't work - when I say I have an internet problem the menu it offers is about a landline I don't have. Over it.

@ClareSavage17 Each year the AER team raises the bar. Its on my must read list.

@JoelDignam This is the challenge should we choose to accept it. To make people understand no-one should be sick or lose their life because they can't afford their energy bills.

@ClemCowton @david_sykes89 Start from the customers out. Love your work.

Great initiatives at this time. We need to do everything we can so people know they can get help

[Essential Services Commission @EssentialVic]

We’ve published a draft set of measures to help Victorians experiencing financial difficulties. https://t.co/6sdeafXcwR

@energyvoiceau @CPRC_research This research tells us what consumers are struggling with at this time. We need to resolve if we are to support a recovery. Well done @CPRC_research .

@GMegalogenis Great insight that dispossession and a failure of belonging is the root cause of indigenous Australians place in our society. Worth visiting the 1619 project website to understand how slavery is the root cause of America's issues.

You have made an amazing contribution Michelle Groves, and we will miss you on so many levels. Just you wait till we can toast you (or is that roast you) in a live event once we can all mingle again.

In extended fiery remarks, Gov. Andrew Cuomo responds to attack from Donald Trump: "First of all, If he's sitting home watching TV, maybe he should get up and go to work, right?"

@GMegalogenis Ted gave me the start in Treasury that was the foundation for everything else I have achieved as a policy maker. Forever in his debt

[Essential Services Commission @EssentialVic]

Together with @aergovau, we are calling upon energy businesses to put customers first during the current global health crisis. We’ve launched a joint effort to monitor energy customers’ ability to pay their bills: https://t.co/pIUEgJFVoO @CPRC @VCOSS @gerardbrody @gavindufty

[Chris Alexander @C_G_Alexander]

Worth a read for those peddling arguments about energy bill relief and moral hazard. By and large people want to do the right thing, particularly during a crisis.

[Energy Consumers Australia @energyvoiceau]

"This will put a lot of pressure on family budgets, at a time when they can least afford it."

Our interim CEO @LynneGallagher_ discusses the pressure on household budgets and how energy companies can provide extra help. https://t.co/h0PLwBVoDr @FinancialReview

We all need to reflect in this and the impact on those who have experienced sexual abuse and been afraid to tell and not been believed. As Francis Sullivan said today abuse occurs in secret between someone in power and a child, woman etc

[Julia Gillard @JuliaGillard]

The High Court of Australia has today issued its decision on the case involving Cardinal George Pell. I do not intend to comment on that judgement.

But I do wish to address the impact on our community.

So unless Westpac enages with me - and I cant get a response after 4 weeks of trying - to refinance our loan they will default me, forcing a sale and kicking out our tenants when I still have a job and no issue making payments. #westpac

[Lynne Gallagher @lynnegallagher_]

My own experience at the moment shows how overwhelmed banks etc are. I have been trying for past month to engage with Westpac about refinancing a loan that otherwise expires on 22 April. We can meet our repayments, but technically response to Haynes is to end our loan.#westpac
