Amazing generosity
Yesterday as my Mum went to pay for her groceries at Pak n Save in Botany the lady behind her in the queue pushed her hand away and tapped her own card, paying for my Mums groceries! Mum was rather confused and wasn’t sure what had happened… at 85 she is not on any social media so had no idea of the ‘pay it forward’ concept. She stuttered out a thank you to the lady and was a little overwhelmed by it all.
I don’t know who this lady is but I wanted to post in the hopes this might get back to her.
You are amazingly generous and kind, thank you so much. You’re an inspiration and a reminder that there are some beautiful people in the world and I hope someday someone will pay it forward for you.
Merry Christmas everyone x
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

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?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
