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 banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
