Poll: Have you ever attended a council meeting?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A meeting of the South Waikato District Council turned into little more than a farce after a local YouTuber and “citizen journalist” refused to turn off his camera, leading to the meeting being adjourned.

What was to be the first full council meeting of the year, with important decisions to be made on Waikato Water Done Well legislation, and rates rebates for Kinleith MIll workers destined to lose their jobs, almost didn’t make it past the opening karakia.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
