Cindy from Freemans Bay

I read Vodophone NZ is going to change its name to Vodophone Aotearoa & both Spark & 2 degree were going to also.I thought we lived in NZ BOTH vdophone & 2degree are NOT NZ owned are we following America & being PC.I,m 39% Maori so Im NOT racist but I am a proud NZealander & DONT like the way NZ is NOW divided.Im 74,grew up in Gisborne then both us & pakeha played together,went out & did things together ETC now I hear whites run down blamed for things 200 years ago.I did my research it was hard to find but I read settlers letters from how things were 200 years ago,sure alot of bad things happened but it was sometimes us maori which we arent told about that commited horrible things,READ settlers stories pewople THEY WERE THERE.If you just google you,ll get bulls... & PC ONLY.If I told someone something & they repeated it to several others it would be so exaggerated & I believe NOW those PC protesters NEED to tell us "would they give up their mobile ph or Ipad(they are euopean)car or home (they are european) clothes,sheets & matresses(they are european)cutlery,crockery(again european)ALL these OUR ancestors NEVER had,most have had a Univercity education & now say pakeha has taken this & caused that.Alot of my cousins live in HUNTLY & that area (Waikato) got a huge treaty money payout-where is it because ordinary maori have NEVER got a penny or help,Tainui iwi is worth $50 BILLION but have they ever helped maori health,in winter children who go to school with no raincoats or shoes,NO they get the tax payers money.I,m a 39% maori-I had a blood test & have my ancestry done & I am a New Zealander can any of the head protesters show us a blood test & ancester paper to prove just who they are & DONT forget to ask them what they will give up as they keep telling us whites are bad.I thought we were supposed to never forget the past but live in the future it seems alot want to live in things that happened over 200 years ago.DONT bother abusing me I know you DONT like hearing any-ones opinion thats not yours just let the past die but NEVER forget & live in the 20th century & STOP dividing NZ

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
