Grant McCallum: Northland MP on the class action lawsuit against Transpower for the 2024 power outage

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Encouragement for any Northlander who feels hard done by from the region-wide power outages last year to explore legal avenues.  Local businesses are taking class action against Transpower and its lines maintenance contractor over the outages caused from a pylon collapsing in Glorit, north of Helensville.  An investigation found a relatively inexperienced and inadequately supervised Omexom worker removed nuts from three of the pylon's four legs.   Northland MP Grant McCallum told Ryan Bridge he's backing the local businesses seeking legal action.  He says we all know what happened which still beggars belief, but we will have to wait for the legal process to be completed.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
