Higher Electric Prices
Hey guys,
I've had an email from Flick explaining why our bill has doubled the past few weeks and thought it was quite informative for all of you to know also. See email below! 👇🏽
Spot price forecast
Over the past fortnight, the spot price in the South Island has sat around 11.2 cents ($0.112).
Our forecast suggests that this will lift to 11.4 cents ($0.114) over the coming month.
So there will probably be some weeks that you’ll be paying more with Flick than you did with your old retailer.
But these higher prices follow 102 consecutive weeks of savings that Flick has delivered to Flicksters. So if you can weather a few bad weeks, we know you’ll still be better off in the long run.
We’ll keep updating you on the forecast as these dry conditions continue.
How long will high prices last?
History tells us that Dry Winter conditions happen once every four or five years, and last from three to eight weeks, so we expect these conditions to be over by mid-August.
But this could all change suddenly if there’s decent rainfall in the right places in the South Island. There’s rain forecast for later this week so it seems the mass finger-crossing happening at Flick HQ may be working!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
