Contact Energy has increased prices without Notice? is Contact Energy ripping us off??
Has anyone experienced this problem? I received a Contact Energy bill yesterday and found that my 22% discount has disappeared I called them and they told me that this is a government directive and that they sent me a letter to this effect which they did not. I am now shopping around to look at other service providers and would like to know how much are other power companies charging. I am currently being charged by Contact Fixed daily charge of 30 cents per day and all day Economy low uers 22.40 cents per KWH , Electricity Authority Levy 0.13 cents per kwh and a prompt payment discount of 1%
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)
.
