Lounge suite

Sarah from Motueka

A terracotta-coloured single seater, 2 seater and a 3 seater which is also a sofa bed. The fold out double stretcher type bed is in great condition, as it has hardly been used.

The fold out double stretcher type bed is in great condition, as it has hardly been used. Sorry we couldn't lay it out straight as it shows in the photos as we are limited for the space just @ this time! Quite reluctant to let it go, as it can be so handy to have as a bed when needed, but we have run out of room unfortunately!
We are open to reasonable offers, as are needing to sell!

Price: $450

Electricity price gouging

Stephen from Motueka

'Well done Methanex', I thought, sacrificing profit for us Kiwis. Then I read further.
In a statement to the Toronto Stock Exchange, it stated "these commercial arrangements are expected to positively impact Methanex's Q3 and Q4 earnings with after-tax proceeds expected to meaningfully exceed the margin lost on New Zealand methanol production delivered to customers."
So Methanex resells New Zealand gas it gets at a dirt cheap price back to us and increases its profits by doing exactly nothing except ripping us off.
Screw you Methanex. The sooner you leave the country the better off we will be.
