But it's a GPO. Basic. One cable with 3 wires. Obviously the last two Gpos are fed off the first one. It's lost power most likely from that point or from where it is fed from...

Try this -

1. Turn power off. Best to flick everything odd including main switch to be safe.
2. Take Gpos off the Wall
3. One of them most likely has only one cable going to it. This won't be issue.
4. Other ones will have 2 cables going to it. Possible error at either.
5. Check if either has a wire snapped or looks wrong/broken
6. If ok try and determine which one feeds to the PowerPoint with one cable. Then try and determine which one feeds to a PowerPoint PowerPoint working. Most likely the closest one.

7. Take those PowerPoint's off the wall. Make sure nothing looks broken etc...

Thanks. I got another guy in and he found there was a fault with the microwave GPO and that impacted the daisy chain to the others. Replaced that GPO and the rest of the house starts working.

He was done in 10 mins.

Its funny that the first guy couldn't fix as it would be so basic. Embarrassing tbh.

The thing with politics. Whoever wins I just don't see how my life changes a lot or anyones.

We will all have the same family, friends,health,job,hobbies and interests.
The environmental influence should be placed more on individuals and not just governments. We can all use less power, car pool,recycle, consume less, Don't travel as often and do our part and take responsibilities for our own existence and carbon footprint.

The financial side is different. But how much? Some people will be $30-$40 a week better off and vice versa. Perhaps it may make things slightly fairier but is it a game changer? Not at all.

So I have zero interest. And like many I don't know enough about it. Maybe I am wrong but how many vote one way or another based in what they hear from friends and family they associate with? My guess is the majority.

Well he's smarter than that obviously, because he was such a gentleman that I hit him up for a referral for ducted air. Now I'm giving the job to his aircon mate and he will get subbed for the electrical. His mate will prolly sling him a referral slab too.

Umm really ? Why does he feel that he needs to embellish the truth just to get some electoral purchase ?

www.sbs.com.au

What is the Religious Discrimination Bill and how could it affect Australia?

The government is expected to introduce proposed religious discrimination laws to parliament before the end of the year, with advocates on both sides fiercely debating its merits.

Given the timing and inflated importance of this, it was always little more than an attempt to wedge Labor by trying to bring it to a point now.

Failed spectacularly due to Albo out politicking Scotty, it's almost a thing of beauty how they turned this.

A big test in the lead up to the election and the ALP passed with flying colours. Back to the drawing board ScoMo. You'll need a new Ooga Booga.
