Many people, including myself, believe that they are compelled by Victorian state law to allow smart meters to be installed in their homes and property.
Apparently to what I read on the internet there may be no such law.
Victorian state law makes it compulsory for the five electricity distributors to "use their best endeavours" to install meters in every household and business by the end of 2013.
There is no law that forces the customer to accept the meters.
Can somebody from the state government confirm or deny this, as I am sure there are a lot of people in the community that would like to know there rights regards the installation of these new smart meters to their property?
