Christmas break
Hi all hope you had a fantastic Christmas with family and friends, sorry have just gotten back to my laptop, and I must admit I did not miss it to much lol. Just want to say I hope you have all been safe, to our new members that have signed up, a HUGE WELCOME TO YOU ALL, I do hope that you find this site helpful and informative in some way or another. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ask, there are alot of people on here that are more than willing to help if possible. Please be safe on the roads if you are travelling near or far, I must say myself that my whanau so far have been pretty lucky to make it to OAMARU and back to CHCH safe and sound, but come next week my family and I will be heading to Te Puke which is in the B.O.P back to where my whanau (family) are from. I will try to keep up to date with what is going on, but as it is the festive season for catching up with family and friends it is a tad bit on the hard side some times. But I do wish you all a safe and Happy New Year, may it bring new beginnings, alot of joy and less heartache to you all. May you all achieve what you set out to do in the new yr and I wish you all the very best. Thanks from me and my Whanau to you all
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
