Water
I think it is high time we stopped wanting walk ways, bike tracks, rugby stadium, (who wants to watch a 2nd division team anyway) etc etc. it’s great to have all these thing’s BUT at the expense of water, sewerage, good roads, footpaths, etc the core of good councils, I know it’s feels better to say I was a councillor when we built the stadium then to say I was a councillor and we fixed the water. Or do we put rates up by a $1000 or so and have it all? I feel bad about passing it to the next generation when we haven’t maintained it and haven’t paid enough rates to cover costs.

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)
