Independence on the Auckland Energy Consumer Trust Tuesday 29 September 2003, For Immediate Release

During the last two weeks of October 2003 all those who pay a power bill in Auckland-Manukau and Papakura areas have a vote to elect 5 people to the Auckland Energy Consumer Trust.

Given the variety of bill payers/consumers who are the shareholders of this trust, independent candidate Paul RYAN says that consumers need an independent balance on the Trust. "A vote for RYAN is a vote for independence and balance" he says.

Paul RYAN is committed to:

R Keeping VECTOR 100% ours

R Continued under-grounding of power

R Honest, fair and balanced representation

R A balance on the Trust

- The voting papers will come in the post in the days after the 15th October

- Remember to vote for Paul RYAN as the independent candidate you can trust - For our votes to count, we must post them back before 29th October
