🛑STOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting

Danni from Westmere

Hi neighbours

I’m concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items that’s happening at the moment during the lock down.

We cannot do this during lock down. We cannot have any contact with people and their items that are outside of our bubble during this period.

The virus sits on surfaces, and if it’s on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. It’s too big of a risk. How would we feel if we infected a family and one of them died?

We all need to be mindful about this because if NZ doesn’t get in front of this during the lock down, we will be closed for longer and more jobs will be lost, and potentially will lose lives. The impacts will be even greater than they are now.

Please stay safe everyone and please keep everyone else safe.

Thanks
Danni

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
