The new "Opportunities Party" My Rant, My Fears.

Steve from Green Island - Abbotsford

Well, another "Guy Fawkes" has been and gone, I am surprised at the ease my three cats handled it this year, they seemed more concerned about their sleep being interrupted to be honest.
Now there is an even bigger threat appearing for our fur-babies and it is appearing on the political horizon.
Gareth Morgan, whenever this man opens his mouth I feel a sudden desire to seek anger management counseling. Well already, the man with a hinged tongue, that flaps at both ends has made another immediate impression on me, over and above the cat hating mentality he has already exhibited and I quote: he wants to "light a fuse" under Parliament. OK, so he wishes to emulate a terrorist (Guy Fawkes) ? Well a lot of people do celebrate the life of one of our most well known criminals on an annual basis. So there's possibly ready made voters he can count on?

Then amazingly more verbal diarrhea rolled from his mouth, as he likened himself to Donald Trump. What qualities would he share with Trump I wonder? What qualities would Trump possess for that matter? Oh yea, a loud mouth! I hope any similarities are not solely related to "Tax - Evasion"?
Perhaps the "Cat" issues he imagines we all have, was political posturing all along?
We can't have a politician on-board that would expose successive governments ineptitude in trying to deal with the real killers of our bird-life, the "ships-rats" and surely, the criminally irresponsible act of the settling authorities to introduce the "Possum". Cats kill both of those species.
Until recently, I must confess to owning an extremely large and athletic cat, weighing in a 8kg, Benny would regularly return from a nights hunting with his contribution to our home. Over the eight years we shared, we received three sea-gulls (protected I admit), two Spur-winged Plovers, one very large female duck, several rabbits of varying ages, some still alive and liberated by Ben, in our bedroom, rats, mice, wax-eye, garden sparrow. Now what are not on the list are Tui, Bell bird or Fantail.
No, unfortunately rats and possums predominantly decimate those icons of our country, not my fur babies. Mr Morgan, I attach evidence of the last cat victim to appear on our property and pray for your immediate political disaster and I hold faith that your past, current and future political posturing and policies, will rapidly deal a fatal blow to your "Side - Show".

Most Sincerely
Steve

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
