Wednesday, 8 November 2017, 10:43 am Press Release: Transpower
Two Planned Power Outages Affecting Te Kaha
Area
As owner and operator of the National Grid,
Transpower needs to carry out two rounds of urgent,
essential remedial works on a critical piece of electrical
equipment at the Te Kaha Substation on Sunday 12 November
and Sunday 19 November 2017.
Unfortunately, this
maintenance work cannot be undertaken while the substation
is in service. Transpower would like to advise residents and
businesses around Te Kaha that power outages are required
on:
• Sunday 12 November 2017, from 6:30am –
8:00pm, and • Sunday 19 November 2017,
from 6:30am – 8:00pm.*
*Note, either of these
dates could be affected by severe adverse
weather.
Transpower recognises that there is never an
ideal time for consumers to be without electricity and
apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
For
information on whether your property is affected, please
call your retailer with your customer
number.
Preparing for the power
outage
1. If you are reliant on electricity for
medical support equipment, please contact your medical
provider for advice.
2. Turn off all electronic appliances
at the wall (microwaves, TVs, DVDs, computers etc).
3.
Store enough drinking water before the power goes off.
4.
If you are on shift work, fill up your petrol tank the night
before – remember pumps and eftpos won’t work.
5.
While the power is off, treat all power lines and electrical
wiring as being live at all times as it
could be restored earlier than planned.

After recording a River of Freedom review the Scoop Political Podcast went into hibernation. Now with a new Government formed it’s time to dust off this forgotten silver and look at the potential impact this documentary, about the Wellington parliamentary protest of 2022 had on Election 23. Watched by potentially tens of thousands of voters in the weeks prior to the election this movie was not likely to have won votes for the then Labour government. More
Now that he’s back as Foreign Minister, maybe Winston Peters should start reading the MFAT website which is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of how Kiwis alerted the rest of the world to the genocide in Rwanda. How times have changed ...
In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.

“The Human Rights Commission’s appointment of a second Chief Executive is just the latest example of a taxpayer-funded bureaucracy serving itself at the expense of delivery for New Zealanders,” says ACT MP Todd Stephenson. More
New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
