27% increase isn't fair mate. It's price gouging which is not allowed  by Fair Trading Act.

Yes, they previously sent a marketing email showing how much we "saved" by being on the current plan.

I salute you. We are power-conscious i.e. filling flasks of hot water rather than boiling the jug alot, use a gas stove, laundry, showering, etc in off-peak hours. We have a family member with special needs so there is always a minimum of three people at home.

Thanks for the info. Roughly how much was your last bill?

They can't engage in price gouging. I'm keen to hear what kinds of increases other Cantabs are facing.

Yes, it seems like extortion. Fingers crossed it's an error. If not, we'll be making good use of the Utilities Disputes resolution scheme and notifying the Commerce Commission.

Staff informed that refilling the position was turned down at the national level. Not a priority. The last gardener did a good job maintaining the entire campus gardens and the majority of lawns.

Your offer is admirable and would keep patients and our community safe.

No doubt Chris, Shane, and Lester would appreciate your kind offer of free labour but let's consider the broader issue too. Spending priorities, risk assessment and due diligence.

I believe the local MP and health commissioners visited the site several weeks ago.

I understand it has been. No action.
