stop the building of an industrial incinerator in Waipa
For ALL members who are within 30-40kms of Te Awamutu - please read the info at the link below and decide for yourself if you'd like to support our efforts to BLOCK the construction of an industrial incinerator (burning tyres, metal and automobile parts) in the middle of T.A. near the high school, milk processing plant, river and livestock. It is NOT a recycling plant, as pitched by the company, and will release toxic compounds including dioxins into our air and water affecting not just us but communities around us in a wide radius. Please help by signing the petition on the link below AND consider putting a submission forward to Waipa District Council and Waikato Regional Council before 13 October. There are NO other facilities like this in NZ and we can't open the door by allowing this one.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.

Poll: Do you think the idea will work?
The Government will today unveil a radical new plan to www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|underwrite construction of new private houses|, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.
The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.
Do you think the idea will work? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
