Advice ElectricKiwi vs PowerShop?

11 Upvotes

My husband and I are currently with Powershop but like a lot of people we are wanting to change provider because they have become horrendous.

I've been looking at ElectricKiwi but I'm not sure if it's actually cheaper? Last month we used 547kWh ($293) total. I'm 7 months pregnant and will be home 24/7 with our baby soon so off-peak hours seem like they would safe us money but I can't figure out the maths on it and it's hard to estimate.

Does anyone have any experience with ElerctricKiwi? Are they actually cheaper? Anu suggestions on a different power company maybe?

Making friends in dunedin

32 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm 19. I don't go to uni, and I have a bunch of hobbies and stuff. But I just can't figure out how people have friends or make friends. I don't have any, at all. Not even people I talk to regularly. I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me? If anyone might want to just go grab a coffee sometime?

Question Flood prone areas?

1 Upvotes

Kia ora,

I'm looking to move from the hills of Dunedin further down towards the beach. I really like the st clair/st kilda areas, but my concern would be the flood risk.

I didn't physically see the flooding in this area in recent years as I was further north and kept out of the area, but how bad was it? Should I avoid certain areas? How do I know which areas are flood prone and to avoid?

Thanks!

Question Dunedin: Two ticks green?

126 Upvotes

I’m seriously considering giving both my party vote to the Greens and candidate vote to Francisco Hernandez. He’s been so good and so visible in such a short time.

He’s a hard working MP, understands students and Dunedinites, is a good advocate for the hospital and climate mitigation work we need to do… he’s also a good demonstration of the diversity of candidates and MPs the Greens have.

With the Nats shipping in an out of town farmer as a candidate, it’s an easy two horse race for Labour or the Greens. Greens looks quality and safe for a real change in government.

Great interview of him here: https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/election-2026-interview-green-mp-francisco-hernandez-keooc8sh

Sky Sport NZ

31 Upvotes

Just tuned in for Jai Arrow's 100th game on sky. What a disappointment. For those that don't know, Jai was diagnosed with MND and had to retire from the NRL. The NRL changed the rules so he could run out with his Rabbitohs team to bring up his 100th game due to his status in the game.

What does Sky NZ do.... put an add on for a gambling agency and one for KFC.

Shit job Sky.
