COMMUNITY NOTICE!
I am writing this notice to warn everyone in the Henderson area about the parking enforcement company, ELITE PARKING SERVICES, who responsible for dealing with the property at 20 Sel Peacock Drive, Henderson (where mad butcher was). Two of their staff members, the parking warden and the phone operator, were extremely rude in their dealings with me.
On the 26th of April, I parked on 20 Sel Peacock Drive for 20 minutes to make an appointment nearby. What I didn't realise was that my car would be clamped and that I'd have to pay $200 for its release. What was far worse, however, was the treatment I received following this incident.
I approached the parking warden, who was sitting in his car, to clarify what was happening. He ignored me, told me to shut-up then rolled his window up in my face. I tried to call the number provided to complain about my treatment and I received more of the same. The phone operator hung the phone up on me!
Paying a $200 fine is something that I can get past. What I can't get past, however, is being treated rudely by a stranger for absolutely no good reason.
Please watch out, I would hate for anyone to be made to feel the way I did. Avoid parking there. Avoid going to those businesses at 20 Sel Peacock Drive, like the bakery, laundry, so that perhaps they reconsider their choice of parking enforcement company. it says free parking for 120 minutes, but this is just for theses business, DO NOT ever park in this car park and leave it to go somewhere else.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
