A lot of people of Nathalia woke up to find out that our natural gas will be cut off in under two months.
Two years after opening, this is not something I expected to be dealing with. Our business is literally being pushed from the 21st century back into the 20th.
During the build, we had the opportunity to send our equipment back and switch to LPG. There were rumours even then that natural gas could eventually be phased out. Before making that decision, I spoke directly with the gas supplier and was told that wouldn't be happening. The gas lines are privately owned and there was supposedly a 20-year agreement to supply Nathalia. My equipment representative had been told the same thing.
Twenty years? No worries. I figured I'd be long gone before that became my problem.
Yet here we are.
I'm now trying to get commercial gas plumbers who are already run off their feet because so many businesses are in the same position. I've been pushing to make changes for eight months, not because I knew this was coming, but because my gas and electricity bills are now around 20% of my takings, during to tariffs. Let that sink in.
Since opening, governments have added tariff after tariff, tax after tax, and extra costs that have made energy increasingly unaffordable. I've spoken directly with both my gas and electricity providers about why prices have risen so dramatically. The answer was the same: taxes, charges, compliance costs, insurance, and government-imposed expenses.
This isn't just about one business. Decisions made in city offices have real consequences for small towns. Every extra cost, every policy change, every piece of red tape lands on the shoulders of small business owners who are already working ridiculous hours just to keep their doors open.
The part that frustrates me most is that governments seem completely disconnected from the real-world impact of these decisions. They don't see the financial pressure, the sleepless nights, the stress of trying to keep staff employed, or the emotional drain that comes with constantly fighting battles you never signed up for.
This gas situation isn't something I'm willing to fight. I've said since opening that once we got through all the hurdles of getting the business running, I wasn't spending my life fighting more battles. I'm a go-with-the-flow girl, but I also believe that sometimes the only way to win is to cut the head off the snake (labour) may remove the problem altogether.
I don't blame the gas company. They're simply dealing with the situation they've been handed. My frustration is directed at governments that continue to make decisions without considering the impact on regional communities and small businesses.
Australian Government should have energy policies that put Australians first. We should have affordable and reliable energy reserves for our own people and businesses before worrying about how much money can be made from every day Australians
Because at the moment, it feels like small business owners are expected to carry the cost of every decision while having no say in any of them.
And frankly, I'm over it.
