The Government Giveth and Contact Taketh
Away
"Just as Superannuitants are about to get some
relief from the rising costs of living, along comes Contact
Energy and takes it away," said Les Howard, President of
Grey Power today. "This is a classic case of greedy foreign
companies ripping off New Zealanders, simply on the basis of
enhanced profit."
"It is simply is not good enough that the domestic consumers have been exploited during the whole time of the privatised power supply system. As we run up to the coming elections, Grey Power will be telling its 80,000 members to look at each political party to see who could stop this atrocity and who offers a solution to get the whole energy scene under control."
