Poll: Would you join a petrol station boycott?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Residents who say they are tired of being ripped off at the petrol pump in Thames are opting to fuel up elsewhere to put the pressure on service stations to drop prices.

And they’re onto something, according to the NZ Automobile Association (AA) who say it’s a way to trigger ”price-matching“.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
