For the love of neighbours, of NZ, & well-being, win-win for all.
Please let us have a medium to long term discussion & subsequent petitions. The NZ public pay $2 million a week in Tradmne revenue. $100+ million a year. Trademe fees of almost 8%..... More or less a monopoly, with no alternative. Further 1-2% for instant Ping payments.

Trademe can get by with 2-3% instead of 7.9%? Anyone well connected to Commerce Comm? ST
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
