city council
i find it interesting that the city council takes it upon themselves to up our rates whenever they feel the need to and yet we get nothing in return but we do lose a curtain amount of our services that we pay like rubbish removal, they wont take a curtain plastic (and yet auckland takes everything) and they refuse to pick up cardboard thats any bigger than a shoes box give or take and they have recently raised the prices at the dump.Why do we pay rates in this city ?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular?
It’s farming, but not as we know it.
Sheep are grazing under solar panels in a Waikato first that could become more common as farmers look to diversify their incomes.
