Merry Christmas please!
Christmas is almost upon us, and I have to have a moan about something that really irks me!
It is one of the major Christian festivals, but it has become changed by a number of councils to "Happy Holidays" instead of 'Merry Christmas'. All the other religions/ethnicities are referred to by their correct festival title, so I want to see Merry Christmas on the banners. Is this political correctness gone haywire? And why only Christian festivals that are affected? Palmerston North - please change your banners this year.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Recycling question!

Is there anywhere yet in Palmy where bubble wrap & polystyrene can be taken for recycling?
