Further inflation caused by government action/inaction.
Just got my latest insurance bill yesterday. Base premium up 16.3%; Earthquake Levy up 60%; GST up 22.7%. Overall an increase of 22.7%. When will it end.
Now costing nearly $50 per week. Has probably gone up by roughly 100% over last few years. Worse still there has been no increase in risk where I live.
Is it any wonder so many people chose not to insure. Trouble is they then expect us to subsidise them.
On another level insurance companies have made mega-bucks over the years (Billions if not Trillions) so I have to wonder how they can justify such increases.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

76.3% Yes

22.3% No

Recommendations please - Heatpump Repair
Hi,
Looking for someone reasonable to provide a quote to fix a Panasonic heat pump that a) leaks a little when on cool mode and b) doesn’t heat.
Appreciate all your recommendations
Thanks.
