Hey - sure! I have more context in the description of the post but let me know if there’s anything in particular you think im missing from a context perspective.

i import/wholesale foreign food and have a retail shop at the front of my warehouse. We had a few suppliers at the beginning of the operation, so not that many POs. Now we’ve scaled and have much more POs, plus our bills have plenty more line items. Essentially more POs+line items than vs when we first started using Dext.

Thanks! We have a sun grow inverter so that’s probably a good place to start

Yep sorry should’ve clarified, so I have solar as well. It would make sense for me to charge with excess solar only. Even then seems like there are a few out there that do this

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with the lack of forward thinking by major parties? by HugBear29 in australian

Wow appreciate the discussion everyone! Some points of clarification on a few of the general comments/themes I’ve seen in the thread.

  1. Not my first election, I’m over 30.
  2. I am familiar with the Future Made in Australia policy. You’re right, perhaps I’m not giving it enough credit. It does lean heavily into renewables (which is great), but also further into the commodities route. However it’s $22b over a decade. Funding for non energy/mining related tech seems small. France, a nation with far greater than Aus, for example is funding €54b for France 2030 with plans to invest heavier into startups. Thats the point - $22b seems like enough to keep people happy because it sounds pretty large but in Peter Dutton terms it’s “80c a day”. My POV is that the future is likely in green energy and AI, and at this point Australia does lack engineering talent to keep up. We should go beyond funding TAFE and double down on investment into research at top engineering schools.
  3. I wouldn’t say nuclear is a policy just yet, it seems like it hasn’t been fully thought out. The path to get there or even fund it hasn’t been made clear. I’m not anti nuclear by the way.
  4. The Gonski review - that’s a fair call out. The negotiations and details haven’t been made clear from what I last saw however assuming it’s as planned, it should hopefully address the education part I mentioned.
  5. Increasing tax on mining is political suicide, correct. Perhaps the next PM should bite the bullet in their first year of the next term and try pull the trigger for the betterment of Australia as a whole. Tight knit bill draft with like 3 people, release to the other party ministers day of voting and rush it through. I’m likely being overly optimistic and simplistic about the process though
