• Privatising our health system is not a model we want in New Zealand. In the USA people are made bankrupt to pay for health procedures and healthcare is witheld if you don’t have the means to pay for it.
• Private health insurance premiums increase with age and are loaded for existing health conditions. e.g. pensioners and people with existing chronic health conditions unable to afford private health premiums.
• Private operators are in it to make a profit and they will cherry pick the most profitable cases.
• Private hospitals don’t train staff, they poach them leaving public hospitals struggling to staff their operations.
• Funding the public health system properly is the most sound economic return on tax payer money (15-20% of every dollar put into private health is syphoned off as profits and often offshored to rich corporates / investment companies)
• Private Health does not offer a better level of care. Should anything go horribly wrong in the private system you will be shipped back to the public system to mop up the mess.
• Our public health system has been chronically underfunded for years but moving to a private health model is NOT the answer.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

N8tidy - Same garden. Massive transformation

Fred from N8tidy - Neat by Nature. Tidy by Trade

Big garden transformation completed 🌿✨

We recently finished a garden clean-up with some seriously visible results — the kind of change that reminds us why we do what we do.

See walk-in video below (before/after): youtu.be...

At N8tidy, we are fully commited whatever the challenge you have:
👉 showing up on time
👉 working hard
👉 delivering quality results
👉 keeping prices fair and accessible

We genuinely want our Nelson/Tasman community to enjoy tidy, well-cared-for homes and gardens without it costing the earth. Affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners — it means caring about the people we work for.

Thanks to everyone supporting local 🙏

If you’ve got a garden that needs a reset, you know where to find us.
If you have a house that needs regular cleanup or one-off, we will exceeed your expectations.
