The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Holden On to Happiness, But Ready for Hay!

Selling my 2019 Holden Trax, freshly fitted with a BRAND NEW engine just 1,000 km ago, and it’s got a 12-month or 50,000 km warranty to keep you cruising with confidence! This beauty has been pampered with regular servicing and just had a professional valet—she's shining brighter than a new tractor (which, unfortunately, is what I need on my lifestyle block now). No hay has ever touched this car’s pristine interior, but it’s time for me to trade in urban style for something a bit more...farm-friendly. I have covers on the seats for protection ?? but the seats are that leather type. Grab this Trax before it bolts!

Price: $19,000

It's a 15mm wide zig zag wave - 10mm if measured across the cut end.

Sew onto a garment as an embellishment, trim a hem or seam, glue it onto a craft or scrapbook project such as a tablecloth, hand towel, baby bag, sewing box or apron or use it to tie around napkins, favour boxes or bags etc

100% Polypropylene - not suitable for very hot ironing as it may cause the ribbon to shine

I have:
2 reels each of Yellow, Hot Pink, Orange & Turquoise
1 reel each of White & Red

$22 per reel

10mm RicRac usually sells for $2.50 - $3.50 per metre so buying a reel like this is a great saving.

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
