Sunshine
Thankyou so much to all the runners out there this morning who so skillfully altered course to create generous social distancing ..soo appreciated !!
Message to the more 'self absorbed? '
To use Ironman language ..'this (lockdown )is a loong day out for everyone and some people are going to be doing it very hard' DO NOT let your joy steal another's Peace ...if you like to move at a pace that requires panting and sweating use this time creatively .. instead of altitude training put on a mask and get some oxygen deprivation that way.
To the cherub in skimpy running shorts dashing through the Countdown carpark and straight through the line of people waiting ...NOT OK
Seems like there are many people out there discovering or re discovering the emotional and physical benefits of exercise .. those of us who know this already ..let's encourage and support and give them space !
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
85% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
15% No. This would be impossible in practice.
