!!Please Help Emma Guyer Fight Cancer!! #OUR INSPIRATION

Aaron from Atawhai

givealittle.co.nz...

Beautiful wee Emma was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor ­at the age of 6 which­ was successfully removed and treated with­ radiation. Then the ­unthinkable happened ­again. The tumor returned in­ the spine at the age­ of 8, but was thankfully ­successfully treated.­ It saddens us all to announce this recent news that Emma'­s brain tumor has returned. Emma is soon to be 12 years of age and is such an amazing,­ beautiful, outgoing,­ positive girl. She is an inspiration to her family and everyone that has the pleasure to be a part of­ her life. The fight ­is back on for the third time, except this time the diagnosis is very uncertain and the prognosis does not look­ good. You can all imagine what this family has already been and is currently going through. Jenny, Aaron, and step dad Coopz are such­ amazing parents that­ would do anything for Emma, including her younger sister Khloe. I know that currently all the family wants to do is to live life to it's fullest and fulfil Emma's desires and dreams. As you can imagine this is not always­ possible due to financial stresses so if you're in the position to donate please do remembering that every dollar counts. I know they will ­be so ever grateful. ­Donations will be used to fulfil Emma­'s dreams and desires plus alternative treatments. We would like to thank you all for taking the time to ­read this devastating news that nobody wants ­to hear, but hopefully­ we can minimise the amount of stress this­ family is experiencing during this time.
Thank you all for your donations ­and support, it is highly appreciated, much love ­to you all.

Labour Party Hypocrisy

Tony from Tahunanui

Well, here we go again. More Labour Party hypocrisy.

Just as Labour MP Rachel Boyack has cried crocodile tears over National not building the promised new Nelson hospital when Labour had promised (showing both how little a Labour promise is worth and the hypocrisy of their tears) to get the hospital started before their term ended we now have Deputy Prime Minister Seymour calling for the Air New Zealand shares owned by the government to be sold.

Now that is to be expected given Seymour’s party policies but what is astounding is Labour’s finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds comments in response.

She tells us Air New Zealand is critical national infrastructure and the Government should not be selling its shares.

Very good, but wait. Labour has clearly (and conveniently) ‘forgotten’ which party privatised Air New Zealand.

In 1989, the Labour Government sold Air New Zealand into private ownership. The sale transferred the airline from being a fully state owned national carrier to a privately owned company. The sale was part of a broader wave of Labour privatisations, also including:
• Telecom (1990)
• New Zealand Steel (1987)
• PostBank (1988)

Labour may well have built state houses for working people (not just beneficiaries like Ardern’s government) in the 1930’s but what have they done since? Very, very little other than to ride on that one good thing ever since and, as we are seeing again and again approaching this election, spent most of their time practicing their hypocrisy. Remember the Kiwibuild promise?

If you want truth in politics beware Labour.

Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.

We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
