- When approached by your family or friends on social media talking about investment opportunities, be wary.
- Consider contacting the loved one by other means toverify their identity, such as by phone.

Poll: Space or the Ocean β€” Where should our focus be? β˜„οΈπŸŒŠ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?

It’s wild to think that more people have walked on the Moon than have reached the deepest point of the sea. Why is that?

This has even made front page news in the β€œpost” recently and national news. What people don’t seem to realise this has been going on for years. At the start of spring each year, water restrictions are put in place It's not a new thing.
It has nothing to do with the level of Te Marua lakes, Hutt river flow, or Waiwhetu Aquifer levels. It's been a wet winter. Ask the management of Wellington Regional Council why it is in place they won't be able to justify it. It's just something they do each year. Other districts that really do have water shortages in summer put restrictions on in late February. Never before December
It's sad that management seems to think this is the only way to manage water supply. Oh, I forgot water meters will also do it ! Then they don't have to worry about leaks
