TRENDING TOPICS

A selection of the best comments on the topical subjects on Otago Daily Times social media platforms.

Aurora scheduled power cut

Seems to be a recurring trend with Aurora, though: ‘‘scheduled’’ power outages that noone affected seems to know anything about. — Gareth Egen

So if Aurora let businesses know in December of the scheduled power outage when it was going to take place, surely they would have known well before the date that it wasn’t going to happen? — Owen Prior

We were in the same boat. Own a business in Roxburgh, told our staff to have the day off due to no power and then they never turned the power off or told us otherwise. Bloody frustrating. — Kirsten May

Lead in water

Evidence of ‘‘timelines and actions’’ from the drinking water assessor and Public Health South is what we are waiting for. Then accountability. Then compensation. — Lorna WatkinsDooley

To be honest, it has made me wonder about water right through New Zealand. — Delia MorrisZindel

Gull slaughter

Protected or not, you have to question the lowbrow mentality that derives pleasure from the wanton killing of defencless animals. — Sam Hill

‘‘Could’’ or ‘‘will’’ be prosecuted? What a shameful and abhorrent act! — Shane McKenzie

Totally unbelievable. How cruel. Hopefully the ones who have done this will soon be identified. — Sheree Mason
