The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.

We Are Looking For A Forever Home For Our 1 Year Old Stray Cat Who Has Been Neutered & Microchipped & Very Much Loved. Unfortunately He Isn’t Getting On With Our Other Male Stray Cat & So Ideally He Needs Somewhere With No Other Cats & Definitely No Dogs. Midnight Has Been With Us For A Few Months Now After Being Abandoned & Unloved By His Original Owners. He Is A Very Intelligent Smart Cat & He Loves His Cuddles. Midnight Really Needs One On One Care As He Can Be Unpredictable At Times So I Have Been Left With A Few Scratches Hence Also Being The Reason He Needs To Be The Only Pet In A Household Of Adult/Adults. He Has Been Mainly An Outdoor Cat But Recently He Has Been Wanting To Be Indoors With Us Especially With The Bad Weather (Rain), We Have Noticed He Has A Fear Of The Rain… Midnight Loves To Play Fetch & He Is Very Good With Trips To The Vets. Midnight Loves To Roam The Neighbourhood But Always Comes Back Home To Eat, Play & Every Night At The Same Time He Gets Tucked Into His Bed. We Are Seeking A Forever Home For Midnight Preferably With A Larger Section Or A LifeStyle Block As He Does Love To Explore & Climb. We Lost Our Beautiful 17 Year Old Cat Ella Recently & The Day She Got Sick is The Day Midnight Lay On Me For The First Time (Pictured Below) After Being In Our Care For 9 Months, He Never Once Got That Close To Us Until That Day. He Has Been Very Healing For Us All Since Her Passing Less Than 2 Weeks Ago & A Good Companion So This Is Very Sad (Breaks Our Hearts) For Us To Have To Give Him Away. Midnight Comes With A Large Plastic Cat House, Flee Treatment, Blankets & Vet Food To Get Him Started. Midnight Deserves More Than What We Can Offer Him & So We Pray We Can Find Him The Perfect Home. Please Phone Chris On 0279561055 Or Rochelle On 02102371373 If You Would Like To Talk More With Us Regarding A Forever Home For Our Wee Man….We Are Happy To Give Midnight A Trail Run With His New Home & If It Doesn’t Work We Will Happily Take Him Back Anytime As We Just Want Him To Be Happy….
