Our first event @ Climate Action Campus, Ōtautahi

Harpreet Singh from Indian Royal Brew | Proudly NZ owned Business

We're back from an incredible event at the Climate Action Campus, Ōtautahi, and we're thrilled to share that it was a huge success!

🌱🍵 Our journey with Indian Royal Brew started with a passion for Indian + premium + organic teas being sold in New Zealand, and it was amazing to see so many people connect with our story and teas.

From the rich flavours of our blends to the careful selection of ingredients, we loved explaining what makes our teas special. The response was overwhelming, with many attendees choosing to take a piece of our journey home with them.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and bought our teas and shared our vision for a greener, more connected world through the simple pleasure of a great cup of tea. Your support means the world to us! 🌍💚

Thank you, @avoncityford , for helping us with the event.❤️

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

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.
