Maria returns to the dining room table with a fiery critique of Australia's energy pricing disaster. From skyrocketing AGL bills to smart meter control and the illusion of cheap renewables, Maria doesn't hold back. Joined by Jeremy Cordeaux and his panel, they dissect the broken promises of green energy, government overreach, and the slow financial bleed of everyday Australians—all while the media stays silent.

Topics you'll hear;

  • AGL and South Australian electricity price increases

  • The myth of renewables being “cheap” and “efficient”

  • South Australia's role as a supposed renewable superpower

  • Smart meter installations and legal rights to refuse

  • Utilities’ control over home solar/batteries (behind-the-meter access)

  • Peak energy pricing manipulation (3 p.m. to 1 a.m.)

  • The true cost of going green in Illawarra ($50,000 per home)

  • Government subsidies, loans, and taxpayer burdens

  • Calls for transparency from energy ministers and regulators

  • Populist politics vs. real leadership

  • Growing frustration with Labour's lack of mandate

  • Media silence and lack of scrutiny over energy decisions
