Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.

Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

I suppose we cannot say that it's a new service anymore. After a month, I would have thought that the kink's have been sorted, NOT.
I was patient when receiving 2 yellow bins. I was patient when my black council bags got left behind after being told that it will be taken with my neighbors bins.
After putting out my brand spanking new red bin this morning, came home after the morning school run to this.

My low expectations just got lower. Not amused at all.
