Why Are There No Lies in this Election Campaign?
Reading through the responses to 'that ad' by the Nelson Citizen Alliance - you know the one that the Nelson Weekly had to apologise for - I find all these pussy-footing words like 'disinformation', something that 'holds no truth', etc very interesting.
Are we not allowed to say 'Lies' any more?
Now there's a word that every kid understands.
Dirty deliberate lies, that were designed to twist the outcome of the election, timed to do the most damage possible.
And every kid also knows how far to trust anybody who behaves like that!
Come on Nelson, if you haven't voted yet, grab your papers and show them!
Vote for those who were attacked. And who have never used dirty tactics like that!
Here they are:
Matt Lawrey
Rachel Sanson
Rohan O'Neill-Stevens
Aaron Stallard and
Pete Rainey

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
