Politics .....
So, what do you think about the new policy, from our ELECTED COALITION GOVERNMENT, that beneficiaries will have to declare a boarder as income as of 2026?
The only way a beneficiary can legally share and reduce living costs on the paltry amount in the WINZ allocation to us disabled, and thereby unfit to work (except in the voluntary sector) human beings is to take on a boarder. Not a flatmate, a boarder. Try defining that with WINZ. It feels to me like the Sheriff of Nottingham has taken up residence in the beehive.
$3000,000 tax free profit on property sales for Luxon at the very beginning of his reign, tax cuts to millionaires, the fact that Fonterra charges like a wounded bull is 'great for our economy' never mind the affordability for us, but make sure the people on the lowest income barely possible to live on pay secondary tax on any spare cent they/we can possibly lay our hands on.
Equality? Equity? Any moral code at all? Or just greed and stupidity?
Not my choice of government, are they still yours?
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
