Hamilton Council and Waterworld
As today is a public holiday, I headed off to the Hydrotherapy Pool at 9AM, even though their website says that it opens at 7AM on public holidays.

60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
