Tv one news on Thursday night stated that three energy companies had Excessive profits
Meridian had a 55% profit Mercury had a profit of 42% and Genesis had a profit of 569 % or 1.3 billion dollars between the three of them.
This is atrocious. Have they no social responsibility during the time all of new zealand is going through extremely tough times.
We should all blacklist them and also put pressure on the government ( Jacinda Ardern and Megan Woods) to massively reduce their profits.
Particularly as the government is a majority shareholder in meridian.
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.
