I got an email from the power company this week, telling me about my weekly electricity use and how much of that is used during my eight hours of free power on Saturdays and Sundays. Despite doing all the washing and drying during the 16 free hours of power each week, it was only 20%. No wonder the bills are so expensive. And that’s without teenage…

What’s your message to the new Reserve Bank Governor? Dr Anna Breman is moving from Sweden to take up the job and will begin her five-year term at the start of December.

You know how the Prime Minister does a very good job of batting away poll results and saying that his focus is fixing up the joint after the last lot and that he’ll wait until election day to be judged?

I’m no apologist for shoplifters. I think it is appalling that retail crime costs retailers $2.6 billion a year.

But I’m not sold on this plan by…
