Rural dog owners to get $20 discount

Robert Steven Reporter from Taupō Times

Taupō District Council is providing pet dog owners in rural areas with a $20 discount (or refund, if already paid) on their dog registration costs.

The decision was made on Tuesday in response to a large number of complaints about the increase from $25 to $85 (the registration cost paid by urban owners.

Rural dog owners -- what do you think about the $20 refund?

Pretty sweet deal? Happy to be heard? Or do you feel the cost, even at $65, is still unfair, given dog control costs are largely incurred by dogs in urban areas?

Please let us know :)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
