Solar Quotes, the pioneering and highly regarded instant quote comparison service for the installation of rooftop PV, has been snapped up by Big Three gentailer Origin Energy, 16 years after its genesis in the walk-in robe of its founder, Finn Peacock.

Well, thats the end of Solar Quotes. What a pity, it used to be a great resource for finding information (and installers who werent cowboys).

And as the article says - this data is only from individual tax returns. It doesn't cover companies.

In short:

A tourist has been accompanied down Cradle Mountain, in Tasmania's north west, after attempting to climb it without footwear.

Police say the man contacted emergency services Saturday morning, reporting that he was unable to walk due to his toes being frost-bitten.

What's next?

Police have urged people to remember the importance of going out into the wilderness with appropriate equipment.

This is just a backdoor way to tie real names to online accounts.

Someone think of the children! /s

So, show me a photo of your driver's licence to prove you aren't one.
