Despite their advertisements, Doors Plus have refused to provide any quote for a relatively simple door replacement job; the job that was wanted, involving replacing a single door, to make the doorway safer, removing a significant safety risk. The slogan "Doors Plus - No fuss" appears to mean that, if the company cannot rip off a customer for thousands of dollars, the company is simply not interested, especially in small jobs costing less than a thousand AUD. Shonky company, that treats prospective customers, and safety, with contempt - avoid Doors Plus, unless you want to be ripped off.
We have a Great Wall X200 SUV. After 9 years, the (single) key fell apart, requiring a replacement to be purchased. Then, the driver's internal door handle fell apart, leaving a dangerous stub, that is like dealing with an exposed ceramic scalpel blade. I have not encountered any other experience like driving while holding exposed ceramic scalpel blades. The only GWM dealership with 60km, refused to give a quote for replacing the door handle, so, the vehicle no longer has a driver's internal door handle. Then, the electrics started failing, and the vehicle is designed to not be able to be serviceable. The vehicle became, after 9 years, unreliable, unsafe, unroadworthy, and unserviceable, with these characteristics being in accordance with the shonky Austeralian Design Regulations, and, the shonky Western Australian road transport regulations, that do not require road vehicles to be roadworthy, which is why vehicle manufacturers dump motor vehicles in Australia, that no other country would allow. So, I strongly recommend against buying, owning, or, driving, a GWM / Great Wall Motors / Haval motor vehicle, unless you want to injure, kill, or maim, yourself, your passengers, your family, and, anyone in the vicinity of the vehicle at any time.
For Armadale, our local federal mafioso is named Matt Keogh - "Being a Bigger Berk" is his political slogan.
During his term of government, he and his government have ended universal access to healthcare in Australia, ending the previous universal access to Medicare bulk billing in Armadale.
And, he and his leader, Don Albanese, head of the Australian mafia, in their campaign of widening the gap between the rich and the poor, and, depriving the poor, to pay the rich, in implementing the "Stage 3 tax cuts" to benefit people with incomes at or above 100,000AUD per year, whilst depriving the less well off of any cost of living increase support, and, at

""The average yearly income of Australians is said to be roughly ~$100,000. A person with a taxable income of $100,000 will be $2,180 better off because of the Stage 3 tax cuts. This is about $42 per week," says A/Prof. Boccabella. "
and at
https://www.etax.com.au/stage-3-tax-cuts-explained/
is shown that, for people with less than $30,000 yearly income, we are no better off, but, for people with more than $190,000 yearly income (which includes the filthy rich members of the parliaments, and their filthy rich mates and the people that pay the members of parliaments, their "additional benefits" for being agents of the people who pay the "additional benefits"), they are better off, by $87 per week; "Helping with the cost of living"? - for the rich crooks in Australia, but, not for the people who need the "Helping with the cost of living" - it is all about derpriving the less well off, to pay the filthy rich, which is what this government of Don Albanese, head of the Australian mafia, and his ALP/LNP/Greens party, is all about;
and at
https://www.ibisworld.com/au/bed/population-aged-18-older/15015/ is stated that, as at July 2024, the number of people aged at least 18 years in Australia, was 21,357,108, and at
https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-09/foi-3401.pdf
is shown that the cost of the tax cuts, for the 2024-2025 tax year, is 21.7 thousand million dollars less in income tax revenue, so that, for the change to provide cost of living relief for everyone, the only fair implementation, would have been to pay every person in Australia, who is at least 18 years old, 20AUD per week, as a payment not affecting any other income and not declarable as "declarable income".
But, Don Albanese is yet another prime minister of Australia, who deprives the poor, to pay the rich, and, who believes that prime ministers and their filthy rich mates should not be required to pay taxes, which is why, as he has investment property, like others of his cronies, he refuses to end negative gearing, so he is helping rich people avoid paying taxes, and acting to prevent the working class, from being able to afford to buy housing in Australia.
And, the ALP/LNP/Greens party is about assisting the filthy rich to evade paying taxes, and, assisting corporations receiving income in Australia, and, taking Australian resources, to get income from them, to evade paying taxes. A simple way of ending tax evasion, is available, but, the ALP/LNP/Greens party is so supportive of widespread tax evasion in Australia, by the filthy rich and the corporations, that they will never implement it, as they refuse to end tax evasion in Australia.
And, in the campaign of sabotage and terrorism by the ALP/LNP/Greens party, they have further sabotaged telecommunications in Australia, by, in addition to actively encouraging telecommunications fraud, credit card fraud and identity fraud by the telecommunications companies in Australia, sabotaging the cellphone networks, by banning 4G telephones from accessing cellphone networks, so as to force the common people to bin faultless 4G cellphones, and, to aggravate the cost of living crisis in Australia, by forcing the common people, who cannot afford it, to pay extra money to buy 5G cellphones, regardless of whether access to the 5G cellphone networks, is available where the common people live and travel - the 5G cellphone network instead only being accessible where the filthy rich people live and travel. This is one of many instances of coercive control by the ALP/LNP/Greens party.
This is what happens when Australia is ruled by a terrorist government in a tyrannical dictatorship.
This is a Western Australian state government owned electricity generation and transmission company, that controls and regulates the SWIS grid in Western Australia, without any form of accountability.
" The South West Interconnected System (SWIS) is an electricity grid in the southwestern part of Western Australia. It extends to the coast in the south and west, to Kalbarri in the north and Kalgoorlie in the east. It is not connected to the other large Australian grids. Other parts of the state are connected to independent, smaller grids, including the larger-scale North West Interconnected System and many smaller microgrids managed by Horizon Power.
The SWIS consists of both the South West Interconnected Network ("poles and wires") and its electricity generators. The South West Interconnected Network is operated by Western Power, owned by the Western Australian government, and includes over 7800 km of transmission lines,[2] and over 93,000 km of distribution lines."
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_Interconnected_System
The only purported recourse that customers have, against Western Power, is to make complainhts to the state Energy and Water Ombudsman Of Western Australia (EWOWA), which functions as a protection racket, protecting Western Power from accountability.
Western Power controls applications for the installation and use of household rooftop photovoltaic systems to be connected to the SWIS grid, and, applications must be approved by Western Power, before work can commence on the installation of such systems
In the Perth metropolitan area, household single phase grid connection fuses are rated at 63A, or, about 15kW. That means that houshold electrical circuitry is expected to be capable of handling 15kW of electricity, in total, being drawn from the SWIS electricity grid.
But, Western Power has the policies of wilfully sabotaging the grid stability, wilfully increasing peak demand on the electricity grid, wilfully making the electricity supply even more unreliable, unstable, and unsafe, imposing electricity fraud on customers, and, of gratuitous malfeasance, in addition to showing its hostility and opposition to the use of clean energy, by punishing hoseholders who have household rooftop photovoltaic systems. And, Western Power lies about what it does, and, lies about the reasons that it does what it does.
Western Power, through implementing those policies, on behalf of the state government that is opposed to the use of clean energy, imposes the restriction of limiting the capacity of hybrid photovoltaic inverters for household single phase grid connections to the SWIS grid, to 10kW, and, the SWIS grid is the only electricity grid in Australia, where 10kW hybrid photovoltaic inverters for household single phase grid connections, are not allowed. No genuine reason exists, other than gratuitous malice, for not allowing single phase hybrid photovoltaic inverters of up to 15kW capacity, with zero export limiting, to be connected to the SWIS grid.
A hybrid photovoltaic inverter allows connection to a battery system, for storage, so that, when electricity is generated by the rooftop photovoltaic system, and, is in exccess of the household load, the surplus electricity can be stored in the battery system, for discharging to provide electricity to the household, when the household load exceeds the electricity being generated by the rooftop photovoltaic system. And, 10kW single phase hybrid photovoltaic inverters have export limiting, so that electricity being exported to the grid, can be set to be limited to a particular value, including zero export limiting, so that no electricity is exported to the grid.
Two examples of 10kW single phase hybrid inverters, that are allowed to be used on other electricity grids in Australia, but, not on the corruptly controlled SWIS grid in south western Western Australia, are the Sungrow SH10RS, with 200% oversizing (can run 20kW of solar panels capacity), 14.5kW of power in backup mode, and 10kW of generating capacity, and, the lesser powerful GE GEH10-1U-10 (made by Goodwe, and, rebranded as GE), with 150% oversizing (can run 15kW of solar panels capacity), 10kW of power in backup mode, 10kW of generating capacity, and, this one has an A/C bypass switch, so that, if the inverter fails, the user can easily bypass the inverter, and, draw electricity directly from the electricity grid. And, both of those inverters have capacityfor up to 4 MPPT's. But, those two, and, other such inverters, whilst being allowed to be installed, connected, and used, on the other grids in Australia, including the smaller grid in Western Australia, operated by Horizon Energy, are banned on the SWIS grid, due to the corruption that is Western Power. And, on the datasheet for the GE one, is this; "The grid feed in power for AS/NZS 4777.2 is limited to 4950VA & 21.7A.", so the GE 10kW single phase hybrid photovoltaic inverter, cannot export more power to the grid, than a 5kW single phase hybrid photovoltaic inverter. But, we are stuck with the corruption and malfeasance that is Western Power.
And, 12kW single phase hybrid photovoltaic inverters, with zero export limiting, exist. But, they also, are not allowed on the SWIS grid, for houeholds, due to the corruption and malfeasance that is Western Power.
But, Western Power lies about all of this, and, refuses to allow the use of 10kW hybrid photovoltaic inverters for household single phase grid connections to the SWIS grid, so as to maliciously cause harm to the grid, by increasing instability of the electricity grid, wilfully increasing the peak demand, maliciously causing harm to its customers, and, as an act of gratuitous malfeasance, by maliciously punishing customers for using clean energy.
This is what happens when utility companies are not accountable, and, when members of parliaments are allowed to, and, do, accept bribes from fossil fuel companies (and, bribery and corruption, are integral parts of government in Western Australia).
