And yet MORE money being wasted ...
all for the sake of rebranding.
First we had Woolworths, then came the 'more fresher & modern' Countdown and now they are taking us back to where it all started!!

Insert double facepalm HERE!!!
Woolworths Group said it planned to invest more than $400 million over the next three years to rebrand its network of 194 stores - WTAH??
They jack up the prices so regularly and so severely, for what exactly?
Are we the mugs who are paying for all of this rebranding?
Are we the mugs who continually swallow the dressed up BS as to why they do this sort of stuff?
It absolutely beggars belief that after the so called investigation into the duopoly and grocery prices, that this crap is allowed to continue to happen.
The arrogance of it all, sheer arrogance.
It's like a great big thumb to the nose at each and everyone of us.
"Woolworths said it would offer “more value for customers”" - I call BS on this. Call it what you like, it's still daylight robbery for so many out here in the real world.
Let's be honest here, the Government won't do anything, why should they? They are reaping the rewards from the various taxes. This will be like having your very own golden goose.
All the while, we will still be crippled and held to ransom by all of this malarkey
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, sad but oh so true.
SHAME ON THEM!!!!
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.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
