Power charges repel people
Thursday 25 October 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Can Te Aponga Uira tell the reading public why they have a policy of making some new power users pay for a substation at the cost of $30,000, in order for these folk to get access to something most people take for granted – electricity – and TAU gets to own the substation afterwards? This is morally wrong on so many levels.

Fizz falls flat
Monday 15 October 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor

However, on reading the letter by “Taxpayer” (CINews 10 October), I am going to respond and this will be my first and last word on this.
