Electricity & Internet Providers

Maddy from Manurewa

Hi Neighbors!

My small family of three will be moving into our new house soon and we want to know what providers provide the best value for electricity and internet.

We have a 6-month-old and will be welcoming an au pair to join us so effectively there would be 4 of us. We saw that trustpower is offering a 24-month contract, and they will be including Samsung appliances in the bundle (very helpful since we haven’t bought anything!!), but we think it sounded too good to be true and we hate to experience internet or power outage!

Last thing we want is to have internet issues since I’m heading back to uni!!

Is anyone with Trustpower? Any other recommendations are welcome!! Appreciate any two cents worth :)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
