This is the statement that brings reality to all Cooper is saying. On paste to get 12m, only the reality is that probably 11m will be cruise ship passengers, of whom 6 m will probably never get off the boat in The Bahamas.
Don't waste time trying to reason with birdie. Birdie is typical of the type of people who are keeping this country back. They do not have the intelligence to reason and to put country above political party.
If you read the dumb a** comments of the PM, he states that people will take this savings and spend more in the economy.
But what they really fail to acknowledge is that the costs for business will go up. SO all that saving in electricity, will be spent now on higher food costs.
