Kia ora neighbours, rubbish spilling out of a Henderson property onto the footpath has attracted rats and made living nearby awful, a neighbour says.

The Kāinga Ora property on Universal Drive has been surrounded by rubbish since 2019.

Despite multiple complaints to Kāinga Ora and Auckland Council, the problem remains.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named due to security fears, said there was lots of noise at the house, along with piles of rubbish that had attracted vermin.

MPs’ expenses for the April to June quarter have been released, with Labour and Green Ministers racking up nearly $1 million in international travel costs.

Other ministerial expenses totalled $636,000 in accommodation and domestic travel. Labour ministers spent $606,000 while the two Green ministers claimed $30,000.
Overall, non-ministerial MPs spent a total of $1.6 million in the recent quarter.
Of these expenses, the National MPs claimed $767,000 in accommodation and travel costs. Many MPs live outside of Wellington.
Leader Christopher Luxon claimed $46,000 on travel and accommodation, including $5000 on VIP transport.
Non-Cabinet Labour MPs racked up a further $607,000 in total costs.
The next biggest spender was ACT: the party’s 10 MPs spent $138,000 between them.

TRADEME COURIER COSTS

Linda from Henderson

Lately when I have used Trademe's own couriers' quote, I have found that often the price they quote for the buyer to pay, has increased by several dollars even when the item is sold within a few days after being listed.
This unfair practise leaves the seller paying the extra costs.
An recent example . A family member sold a clothes drying rack for $15, and the courier, Aramex, charged an extra $4.50 over the quoted price. Where is this extra cost going I wonder? Petrol has gone down lately, not up.
I think Trademe need to do a bit of spot checking.
