Poll: SHAW'S BIRD PARK - THE CHALLENGE

Rudi from Hamilton Lake

I went down to the Shaw's Bird Park today just to satisfy myself that I still value the good things in life. I understand that the World is changing and we are pressured to change with it and in the process probably loose out on preserving things that really should matter to us.
So, here is the challenge, go down to Shaw's Bird Park for a walk about and decide then if we should save this jewel for Hamilton.
Entrance is FREE - The address is 143 Hall Rd, Tamahere 3282

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?

Tamahere home in dentist case was once centre of accountant’s fraud

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been a feature in a recent Hamilton District Court trial , but a Tamahere mansion already has an complicated history.

The property in Woodcock Rd - notable for having a hydroslide in the back yard - the scene of now-disproved alleged sexual offending by Hamilton dentist Rahul Gautam - made headlines more than 15 years ago, when it was a focus in the case of accountant Gary Soffe.
