The story on our Facebook page headed ‘How to unlock $10,000 by busting the Hawke's Bay Power Consumers' Trust’ drew these comments:

● Steven Waerea: Sounds stupid, short-term gains for long-term problems.

● Reno Harris: I’d just like the last two years of payments that the scummy trust are refusing to pay me out! And potentially this year’s as well

● Ellen-Ellie Bayliss: Remember when power and phone were government owned. Our bills weren't as high as they are now.

Selling them off for competitive business ventures. Now there are too many power suppliers trying to give people a so-called better deal but customers forget to read the fine print. As for rebates. Haven't seen our one this year.

● Steve Pickup: “Unison's true value lies in its ability to make consistent profits, something that is easy for a natural monopoly of electricity supply” makes it a better candidate for 100% govt ownership than privatised to vulture capitalists.

● Kimberley Booth: You could run the risk of losing all the community support with a sale. There is a lot of money gifted back that needs to be considered also on top of dividends…

● Nancy Wilson: So, privatisation by another name?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The one thing I disliked eating when I was a child was. . .

● Heather Dawson: Parsnips omg yuk, junket, poached eggs.

● Gina Wishart: Liver... still hate it.

● Iris McCooey: School stew.

● Tradine Mckay: Brussel sprouts and peas.

● Leah Jane: Parsnips, beetroot, Brussels sprouts, steak, fried eggs, seafood.

● Ngahina Thomson: Anything and everything duck lol. Duck shooting season meant spaghetti and eggs for me.

● Robyn Broughton: All of the above.

● Roni Warren: Broadbeans. Shellfish and mushrooms.
