‘For households, too, power prices have soared, in part because of increased lines charges… …the proportion of households behind on their winter energy bills rose to 4.2 percent in July. More people were asking to borrow money to pay their power bills than to buy cars, houses or get credit cards.’

‘Energy-starved manufacturers, such as pulp and paper mills, have shut their doors and laid off hundreds of staff, citing the high prices for gas and electricity.’

‘when the spot price of electricity was less than $100/MWh. Since then it’s peaked at nearly $900/MWh, before hovering around the $200/MWh mark this winter.’

Excellent article. Not explicitly discussed but evident within is the failure of the electricity sector reforms which were meant to ‘open up the market’ and reduce the cost of power

Mum’s suggesting having a fire in Invers today 😳☹️

If One NZ is the old Vodafone, then yes. 11 years ago. Trouble started after I was given incorrect information about what to do as I was moving to another city. 9 months of trying to get it sorted out. Left them. Would never got back if it was the last telecoms provider in the world.

But but, they’re sooo much better managers of the economy…

I like what he has done about reducing costs of meds on the US. Shame he has a very poor understanding of the rest of the health the system there, how much it costs, and how poor their outcomes are

I’ve forgotten what Brunton’s report wanted a cap on…

So, ~ 45 years from 50% women at Auckland medical school year 1 to 50% of medical workforce but no intentional programmes to support that increase.

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · 21d

David’s graph shows pretty much we are there for equality ie 50% but that doesn’t take account of full time vs parttime. My view on equity here would be that if more women work part-time we should have more women in the workforce rather than have them work more hours!

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · 21d

1980 was the first year that there was 50% females in first year at Auckland medical school (this was in the days when you got into med school directly from secondary school)

Southland's waters warming faster than most

While the warmer waters may mean more enjoyable swimming temperatures, continued increases will be detrimental to a wide range of coastal ecosystems, including valued fisheries.

I’d prefer Ilea planted natives not pine. There’s a wilding pine problem here in the south.

Also ‘ensure key findings of report are included in headline’. The state of media in NZ…

Are they the same person?

‘Vast overreach’ over there; sexual misconduct and cover up at the most senior police levels over here. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤮

And the oh bubbles canisters hold a bit more gas the the other company’s do.

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Nov 25

Individual action ditch your Sosa stream and buy an Oh Bubbles machine instead. NZ company. Great product.

One of Consumer’s top ten products they reviewed this year. Expensive though. Although at $140 per cut it would pay for items after 18 cuts.
