Tv one news on Thursday night stated that three energy companies had Excessive profits
Meridian had a 55% profit Mercury had a profit of 42% and Genesis had a profit of 569 % or 1.3 billion dollars between the three of them.
This is atrocious. Have they no social responsibility during the time all of new zealand is going through extremely tough times.
We should all blacklist them and also put pressure on the government ( Jacinda Ardern and Megan Woods) to massively reduce their profits.
Particularly as the government is a majority shareholder in meridian.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
