Christchurch could end up with six new faces in Parliament, depending which way special votes go.

Former television producer Reuben Davidson, small business owner Laura Trask, freshwater ecologist Lan Pham and health researcher Hamish Campbell have all made it as either electorate or list MPs, and they all have Christchurch top of mind.

You could also add a doctor to the list if National’s Vanessa Weenink manages to hold on to her majority in Banks Peninsula after the special votes are counted.

Kahurangi Carter, the Green Party’s candidate for Christchurch Central, is another waiting on the results of the specials to confirm her place.

Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!
