Auckland - help Muriwai get back on its feet!
Join a very special event to support Muriwai - the Muriwai Community Rebuild Charity Lunch & Auction. Landslides have devastated the Muriwai community. Hardworking Kiwis have lost everything and are now facing extraordinary uncertainty.
With support from Waimauku Lions, Kumeu Rotary, Allely Estate & Wine Time have come together to raise over $150,000 for the Muriwai Community Association by holding a charity lunch at Allely Estate this Sunday 26th March from 12pm to 4pm.
Proceeds from the auction plus ticket and drinks sales are earmarked for the Muriwai Community Recovery Charitable Trust.
Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.3% No, I enjoy it
-
1.5% Other - I'll share below
Cost of petrol
Can someone explain why we are paying higher prices for petrol seemingly for stock we already held before it became more expensive to buy? If we are supposedly holding approx 50 days of reserve fuel I must assume that we are still using current stock .
