The official price cap remains at $40 per gigajoule, despite the fact that gas demand is still rising on a global scale due to a variety of factors, including a significant decrease in supply caused by the crisis in Ukraine.
Following AEMO’s brief suspension of the whole east coast electricity market in June due to the possibility of blackouts, the most current alert was issued.
The redesign is intended to be about “user experience,” although an existing pornographic website already goes by that name.
The student newspaper On Dit said Google had ‘flagged’ the search term and as a result the site could be prevented from showing up on searches.

According to the newspaper, Dr. Benjamin Grindlay, chief marketing officer at Adelaide University, advocated against the rebranding last year, calling it unnecessary and claiming it would harm the “trust and reputation” attached to the AUU.
He also cautioned that the ambiguous name would need to be explained to each new group of students and that the expense of rebranding would be seen as ‘tone deaf’ as institutions all throughout Australia struggle financial cuts and a decline in income from international students.
When the makeover went live last week, former and current students on the union’s Facebook page criticized the name change, calling it “strange” and “dystopian.”
‘Money well spent, bravo, glad it wasn’t wasted on providing services to students’ one person said.
‘Imagine being a university union for over 125 years and then having the name changed coz some goons are a bit frightened of the word union. Well done chums,’ another said.
A YouX spokesperson said the cost of the rebrand was funded through commercial revenue and not by sacrificing student services, but stopped short of revealing the cost.
‘As a student services provider, our main priority is the student experience, and this brand helps to transmit that message. Feedback received so far has been overwhelmingly positive,’ the spokesperson said.
‘We have not been made aware of any instances where students have encountered inappropriate content using our name as a search phrase, and all testing to date has produced no unsafe search returns.
‘Indexing of new sites can take time (up to a week) and in the interim search results may be mixed but once completed we believe searching and finding YouX will be easy and user-friendly.’
Additionally, they asserted that Dr. Grindlay’s statements were to an earlier iteration of the branding and that university administration had approved final presentations made prior to the rebrand.
The University’s Student Representative Council, which is governed by AUU, has previously voiced opposition to the rebranding, claiming that neither they nor other students were adequately consulted.
We are concerned that this branding has political motivations and is only being carried out because members of the AUU Board want to do rid of the word “union,” the statement said.
