Further inflation caused by government action/inaction.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

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 … View more
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.

Go to the NPDC website and select 10 Year Plan . It states ; "Every three years, residents help us build our draft 10-year work programme to manage $4 billion worth of assets and $3 billion budget.

This year, we want you to GIMME FIVE by filling out our online survey. Everyone who completes it goes into the draw to win one of five $300 shopping vouchers" .

Ratepayers are being asked to pay for a rates increase well above inflation on the basis of "catching up' .In additon NPDC are planning for more "vanity projects" so they can add more "Targeted Rates ( like Yarrows Stadium). This is while the Council previously stated rates would be capped at 7% , and in addition to that the council sit on the vast permanent investment fund . There seems to be no strategy for how the Permanent Investment Fund should be used ,maybe ratepayers should give them some suggestions ! .
