A timely announcement Goff using loss of income to moan about i.e. Airport fees, ports of Ak, Stadium hire, Petrol tax, etc and still the council projects possibly carry on.
I don't believe the rates decrease will even be looked at, he will have his yes councilors to stop this happening for sure. Any thoughts even if 83% of you voted for decrease in last posting on this subject .

Hi Ho, To the Supermarket We Go!

Andrea from Eden Terrace

I have never seen my parents
Really quite so excited
Pouring over shopping lists
And looking so delighted

Mum putting on her dress
and kicking up her heels
Dad putting on his game face

I have never seen my parents
Really quite so excited
Pouring over shopping lists
And looking so delighted

Mum putting on her dress
and kicking up her heels
Dad putting on his game face
To get the food to cook the meals

A little like a game of roulette
I wish them well on their caper
As most stores are out of stock
Of necessities like loo paper

Looking like a surgeon
They face off with their masks
Prepared to ward off the virus
They wait in line, 2 metres apart

And then like a bull to a flag
The store allows them in
And quickly they disappear
Down aisle’s and out again

Never did I think the mundane
Could bring such delight
And when the Alert is over
We deserve a SHOUTOUT for doing what was right

Be Safe
Be Kind

Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?
