Especially for all the Workers
Through the struggle we all suffer from inside our own little bubbles, we need to remember this is the first time where beneficiaries are in a better situation than many who work hard and despite their great efforts they are the ones who are worse off than us because they had to apply for a benefit while the country went into lockdown, i know we all struggle but we need to give a positive prayer to them cos they are the ones who have the most to lose, what is worse is i predict that a recession is going to hit this country once the covid19 is all over cos the economy is at an all time low and is going to take a long time to recover. The last major recession was back in the 80's when the reserve bank refused to print any more money forcing banks to call in all their loans causing many to lose homes and forcing people to work well past their retirement age, that took nearly ten years to recover from and with all the businesses forcing to close their doors for good, it may take us many years to get NZ back to how it was, so to those workers, mechanics, cafes, etc, those who make society tick and are all forced down to where we are, possibly losing homes etc, you are all the bricks to building our economy back up again. so this message is a stay strong, survival prayer to you all

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
