Team NZ had been offered $100million towards their next challenge but their greed has got in front of them. Can you believe they said "not enough" and wanted $200million!!!!
Well, for my money Team NZ, hop in your boat and sail away. There are many, many important sports and charities that are desperate for monetary support, and they have to rely on handouts from business plus family member support. I think it is time to take that money "off the ocean" and bring it back on land where the need for daily life support is huge. You have had a good run chaps and $200million is simply over the top. I am going to get growled at from some quarters but I don't care anymore. Let me give you just one example of need. On average we lose 650 men to prostate cancer every year and we at the Prostate Cancer Foundation have to battle on managing the "out of hospital" causes, effects, and conditions of this unruly disease without any Government support!! 3500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually in this country and we have to stop this human carnage. I am in remission from prostate cancer (three years now) and I intend to show my gratitude by working to get the message out to men, their partners, and families that regular testing from the age of 50 is the way to put the pressure on this disease, thus improving the survival chances of that family member should the bug come to visit.
So sorry sailors, your absolute greed has got me wound up and you need to rethink your program. There will never be enough money for health, but we certainly need to take care of what little we have.
To provide another perspective, $200million could provide up to 400 houses in a very needy housing market for first home buyers, or social housing programs, whatever. And, it would become a part of a continuous cycle as the home purchasers gained equity in their properties and the original monies were again made available for another round of home developments, rather than a good slice of it simply sailing over the horizon to be remembered but never seen again.
Kind regards and best wishes as the "war of words" commences.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.
CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

With rents skyrocketing all over NZ, surely there has come a time for people, as a whole to say ENOUGH.

There is no need for the greed that is being seen in the obscene amounts being asked for by owners of these homes; $500-600 for a 3 bedroom average home here in Hamilton.
There is no way that anybody has a need to charge this amount, a product of supply and demand I hear people say. What? So we are short of available housing for our people, so that gives Landlords/ladies a right to increase their rent.
THATS GREED FOLKS, PURE AND UTTER GREED
As Mark Twain famously said "It is curious — curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."
Take a stand today, demand from those able to have houses to rent out; that they charge a fair rent, rather than an inflated rent, a rent that they would be able to pay if they had two kids, one partner working in a modest job.....walk in that persons moccasins and do what's morally courageous.
