Repost: Cars parked on berm

Stormy from Glendene

Reposting as other one was apparently removed, probably by the same person that reported my family’s cars.

To the person or people that have complained to the council about 2 of my family’s cars parked on the berm on Hepburn Road and said it was for “the safety of the kids” that walk/live around here, do you complain about the other houses with cars that park on the berm? Like next door? Or even the next house over?
Do you complain about the other houses closer to the hill that have cars occasionally parked on their berm?
Do you complain to the council about the teens/kids that ride that moped with no helmets or noise control because the scooter is so loud? Do you camp out and complain about the constant dumping on the corner of Juliana Way?
Do you complain about the guy burning plastics and rubber etc at night/early hours of the morning?
Or are you just complaining about us because we have heaps of cars? Or is it the type of cars that you don’t like? Or is it my family that you have an issue with?
Or do you simply have nothing better to do than be a Karen?

Worry about yourself and mind your own business, like we do.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
