Ahead of the expected release of an independent report into what caused Transpower's transmission tower to fall north of Auckland in June, the issue of compensation is very much still live.
Transpower has ruled out paying compensation, but Northland Chamber of Commerce CEO Darryn Fisher says the initial cost to business revenue was at least $60 - $80m.
He wants Transpower's board stood down and the people of Northland compensated.
Also joining the conversation is Juliet Golightly is a Whangarei lawyer who has been exploring the option of taking a class action against Transpower.
