NPDC and SouthTaranaki Rate Payers have top take seriously the ramifications of carrying on paying for the Yarrows Stadium Deficience's.
The expensive rort now trying to be imposed on Taranaki Rate Payers, especially business rate-payers, on again having to remedy structural deficiencies at Yarrows Stadium, New Plymouth, has to finish. NZ Rugby is a Professionally, highly paid and renumerated operation nowadays. They themselves are all about big money and Big Sponsorship deals. Rate-Payers have to be stopped being manipulated for money, for a lost way of life, that finished years back, when RUGBY especially, became a professional sport. The Amateur Code, unpaid and for the honour, has long been gone and buried. Professional Rugby Sponsorship is nothing to do with the Rate-Payers. It is way outside the Local Government Act. Then to add insult to injury, to suggest that business pay 6 times more than a residential rate payer has to, is plain ridiculous. That is theft, no way how you want to dress it up. Why for Gods sake are they singled out? Are these people, in places of control, in our Councils, even have a clue what they are actually wanting? Have they distorted reality that much that they are believing their own B.S. spin? No more, I stress, no more rate-payers money must go to this act of stupidity. For once I agree with Councillor Gordon Brown and his recent article in the Daily News. . Their are many, many more sports and groups that are or have a better entitlement to this call up of rate payers funds that this group of now grossly over paid sports people, re" Pro Rugby Players" and the" Over Paid Administrators". Lets not forget them, the parasites always on the edges! Making the spin, PR game up for a system that keeps them well employed. If they, "Rugby Pro's "want this so bad, lets see them put their own hands in THEIR pockets first and the start fund raising for the job, as it should be. Do not again take from people that seem to have no unified voice of protest, at this blatant theft! ENOUGH!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
