PMP Limited - Taking over the Western Leader Paper Run
This is to all people who have had a paper run with the Western Leader for only a little while or done this for many years
PMP Limited is now the company taking over the paper run as well as their own junk mail or advertising. I received a letter from Western Leader or Stuff (what it is called now) saying now that PMP Limited will now take over the distribution of paper now. The last paper delivery will be the October the 11th and you will get your last pay on the 17th October including annual pay.
Stewart Hopper has written a post here about Kids losing their Jobs for Western Leader. Obviously I'm no kid. I'm in my 30's so to speak. Now I understand that we are living in digital age where information is going more online on Ipads, laptops etc but the older people still like to get a paper and I am meaning the elderly. I wonder what's going to happen to these folk who will still like to get a paper every week?
I think there will be complaints about papers not being delivered. This is just my own personal opinion. You can't just cancel the paper deliveries and transfer the newspapers to another company and everything will be "hunky dory" so to speak. If anyone is still doing the Western Leader or any of the other runs like the North Shore times or others, let me know about this. It will effect every Aucklander who has being doing a paper run in their areas.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
