Have your say to keep kauri standing

Communications from Waitākere Ranges Local Board

Do you live or work in the Waitākere Ranges? Are you a regular user of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park? Do you want to have your say about the future of kauri in the area?

If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you.

Auckland Council's Environment and Community Committee has recently proposed to close the forested areas of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park (with some exceptions) by 1 May 2018. This significant decision was made to provide the highest level of protection against kauri dieback disease.

As part of this proposal, we are seeking feedback from those Aucklanders who will be most impacted on closure of these areas of the park, before a final decision is made on 10 April.

If you are a resident, or frequent user of the park we want to hear what you think about the proposed closure. Please click the link below to provide your feedback by 19 March:

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Wills and Luxon are screwing the country to please the oil and gas industry.

Markus from Green Bay

Today the smart investment is in battery peaker plants in combination with solar and wind, or with any other renewable generation capacity during low demand times.
Gas is expensive and will get more so over time.

Let's not forget that Nicola Willis' dad is a big time oil and gas investor, lobbyist, and industry insider.

Maybe this should be posted in ‚Crime & Safety‘?
