Bradley Tuhi had monthly power bills of more than $1000, but there was no obvious reason why.
Genesis Energy has admitted a faulty power meter is to blame for a Christchurch man receiving exorbitant electricity bills for 12 months.
Bradley Tuhi’s monthly power bill peaked at $1105 in July, yet at the time Genesis Energy failed to accept it could be at fault.
Tuhi spent months trying to convince Genesis Energy it was not possible for him, his wife and step son to consume that much electricity at their fully-insulated, double-glazed, 10-year-old Governors Bay home that was heated using gas.
Dear Israel,
Fuck off.
Love, New Zealand

At least the usually rather cautious commentator and legal and foreign affairs expert Mr Gillespie has this time chosen the right words:
“Waikato University law professor Alexander Gillespie said the decision would have a chilling effect on free speech.
“This is polictical theatre. This is not really a legal issue, this is about a court in Israel trying to create a precedent, and it will have quite a large global impact.
“A lot of people will start watching this because the fear will be that if you’re critical of Israel, no matter where you are in the world, you could be sued.”
Prof Gillespie said Israel would find it incredibly difficult to force the women to pay the fine.
“In theory they can apply to the courts here to enforce their judgement, but it’s very unlikely that the judgement will be enforced because it’s completely contrary to our own laws.””
