An Economic Competitiveness Agenda for all Aucklanders

Auckland stands out as the only city in our sample to experience falling discretionary income. In all, discretionary income fell $96 per week in real terms between 2008 and 2018 (approximately 5.8 per cent of annual gross household income).

While public focus has centred on housing costs of late, Auckland faces three headwinds simultaneously:

- Income growth for the median household is sluggish compared to other cities.
- Basic expenditure is increasing faster in Auckland than elsewhere.
- Auckland house prices have risen more than all cities in Australasia, with the possible exception of Sydney.

Plan for distributing millions in remaining Christchurch mosque donations to be revealed this week

Brian from New Lynn

It received donations of $10.5 million, and is also in control of almost $3 million raised by seven predominantly Muslim groups. But so far only $3 million has been distributed. That is despite the victims and their families, many of whom are now without their main bread winner, reporting problems keeping up with their mortgage payments. Donors RNZ has spoken to said that was not good enough and it should not take more than seven weeks to get the money to where it was needed.
Ms Ardern today confirmed a distribution plan would be revealed some time this week. Victim Support has been approached for comment.The Christchurch City Mission said it was hearing from more Muslim families asking for help in the wake of attacks. City Missioner Matthew Mark said he understood the frustration over the delays, but Victim Support had a tough task. "The organisation [that] are managing those funds have a very very strict criteria they have to adhere to ... to ensure that there's fairness and equity in how they're distributing those funds as well. "It's something that can't be rushed, [and] also is something that needs to be extremely well considered so that nobody is left without at the end of the the day." Mr Mark said the mission was stepping in to meet immediate needs.

🐦The beauty is indeed all around us🐦

Fiona from Henderson

So, Saturday was one of those days, when nothing I did was making me feel 100% - it was in layman's terms a dull, blank, in fact a nothing day. We all have those days.

So, Saturday was one of those days, when nothing I did was making me feel 100% - it was in layman's terms a dull, blank, in fact a nothing day. We all have those days.
Then I heard the sounds of the Tuis & Kererūs chortling and singing in the distance, and included in that choir was the beautiful sweet sound of the swallows chirping away in front of me. Suddenly some very cheeky fantails wanted to play.
I then turned to see such beauty on what should've been a beautiful day.
How could I not smile and be grateful for that one moment on this planet - it was pure unadulterated bliss💞💞

Poll: Would your area benefit from a targeted rate to boost local transport projects?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Stuff

In May last year, the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate was introduced in north Auckland to fund high-priority local transport options, including bus routes, footpaths and park and ride facilities. The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has … View moreIn May last year, the Rodney Transport Targeted Rate was introduced in north Auckland to fund high-priority local transport options, including bus routes, footpaths and park and ride facilities. The rate (an extra $150 a year/$2.90 a week) is expected to raise $46 million over 10 years and has already seen three new bus services to connect residents to the rest of the city. The RTTR is the first targeted transport rate within the Auckland region.
