Poll: Is $16m enough for a Rototuna High Schools expansion?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Rapid growth around Rototuna Junior and Senior High Schools has earned them a $16 million funding boost from the Government.
It will allow the schools to cater for another 500 students.
Do you think that's enough?
The principals of both schools don't think it will cater for the growth they're seeing.
Senior high principal Natasha Hemara said the junior school was "bursting at the seams" and the senior school would be getting close to its limits in 2020.
It was always planned to take an extra 500 students at the schools, she said, but it was helpful that the Government was funding it.

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.

A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.

Poll: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.

On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
