> E ai ki nga kairangahau o Fair Go kua piki ma rua, ma toru ranei te utu

> Address to constituents in Taumarunui 20.10.11
> Good afternoon. My name is Peter Cleave and I am standing for the Mana
> Movement in the Rangitikei electorate.
> Smart metering? Or smart gouging of the needy and helpless?
> Everywhere I have gone today people have been complaining about the
> pricing policies of this power company, Lines Company. The Fair Go team has
> challenged the Lines Company in a number of ways. They report that power
> customers in the central North Island say they have seen their power bills
> double or triple since a new metering system was introduced. Fair Go says
> that the Lines Company, which has embraced the system known as smart
> metering, covers about 20,000 customers in the central North Island, from
> Otorohanga to Ohakune.
> While most line charges go up and down with the power used, the Lines
> Company calculates the single highest peak of the year and that's what its
> customers are billed on all year round. Customers Fair Go spoke to are
> not happy with the system, saying they have seen the bills go up
> significantly. Congratulations to Fair Go on a very fair report.
> Mana wants answers and we want them now on the energy costs for working
> and unemployed people in such communities as Kakahi as well as in
> Taumarunui itself. Living in Raetihi, National Park, Waiouru and lots of
> small, isolated places in the Central North Island is not easy for working
> people anyway. The last thing people need is a rapacious power company
> doing this kind of damage to people. This company seems to be in a
> monopoly situation here. This is yet another example of the theme I have
> seen again and again in the Rangitikei electorate; the plight of the
> isolated community. I am Peter Cleave and I am the candidate for the Mana
> Movement in the
> Rangitikei Electorate.
