The New Zealand Meter Man was thrown from the premises yesterday after repeated attempts to get at the power box and disconnect supply. Winston Peters, a spokesman for the company was quick to condemn the property owner for non-payment of electoral expenses. "We were just doing our job of cutting supply, and it turns out the property owner wasn't as ill and incapacitated as we thought. We were hoping with high electoral prices, he'd be forced to sell and move out and we could use the place as a state owned house and rent it to the Mongrel Mob. But now our meter man's been turfed off the property, we'll have to see if we can cut supply from the substation." said Mr Peters, confident that his company is not bound by any particular code of conduct when considering further action.
It was rumoured that the owner of the property had recently moved in after forcibly evicting the previous tenant for non-payment of rent, in spite of a sound tenancy agreement.
