Does anyone work at Fonterra?
Heya.... Am just wondering if any of you work or knows someone who works at Fonterra (Te Rapa) ?
I got a cousin and his family who live down in Ashburton and they are very keen to move to Hamilton. He has over 11 years experience as Machine Operator and Team Leader, looking after 3 packouts and a robot to stack boxes. Basically if you eat KFC, or buy any of those frozen veggies from the supermarket, all of those come from Talleys. TIP OF THE DAY, it doesn't matter the brand, get the cheapest.. hehe.. They all come from the same machine, same mixer, same everything. I used to be a machine operator there too (many years ago)... ;)
So.... am just trying to meet some worker from Fonterra so I can try to get my cousin in contact with and perhaps get a secure/safe job.
Cheers. Rod
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
