Poll: What do you think about sweary submissions to councils?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A furore followed a city councillor’s obscenity-filled submission to his local authority, but it’s far from the only example.

Andrew Bydder’s profane submission to Waipā District Council came to light in June and his colleagues later ruled it was in breach of Hamilton City Council’s code of conduct.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?
