If Natalie Bridges (wife of Simon) keeps her pre-election promise when running for TECT (Keep the Cheque) then Bill Holland's (chair), Amanda Sutcliffe's, Paul Tustin's, Ron Scott's and Peter Blackwell's proposal will fail. Why? 'The TECT board's vote needs to be unanimous,” says Vince Hawksword, Trustpower CEO.

It would be horrible and very divisive if the public vote was 51 per cent yes, 49 per cent no.

The proposal should never have surfaced in the first place as all the above mentioned TECT board members never mentioned this bombshell before the last election.

The proposal is 100 per cent to charity, not the current 20 per cent. Wow! What charity? The $7 million unwanted TECT building (The Hub) now going up on the now-ruined Historic Village green?

Disclosure under the proposed new charity deed is far looser than the current deed yet still The Hub TECT building snuck through.

Could Trustpower not be a bit more legally assertive on behalf of us little guys?
