Yup, according to the Winz website, starts in May. I am looking forward to it too. When I moved to Mercury I got six months broadband free but started paying it immediately, and now four months in I have a fat credit that is almost enough to cover that last six months in advance. It means with the energy payment I can use the heat pump if it gets really cold without worrying too much about that power bill. We are really very lucky that with good management we can live well and be independent, I have a couple of US friends trying to manage on social security and they are really frightened.
On a more positive note I came across a yarn listing on TM for a pack of 4ply merino and possum in a lavender grey tone, ten hanks for $35 and pounced on it - way too cheap. It arrived yesterday and the colour is really interesting, the yarn soft, but now I have a problem. What on earth am I going to knit with this lovely stuff? Might have to pull out my kimono knit pattern book again, might be something in that...
