The Australian dollar has fallen on renewed worries about global growth, stemming from Europe, and is buying around $US0.74 on Wednesday.

Meanwhile many commentators are tipping that the next move on interest rates will be lower, after the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to leave the official cash rate on hold at 1.75 per cent on Tuesday.

Electricity leakage is costing customers more in their bills according to energy efficiency expert Tim Bray.

News.com.au is reporting that Mr Bray said “hidden” electricity leaks are costing households thousands of dollars a year. This is alarming when you consider that the average energy bill costs households around $1690 a year.
