Disgust at the Government
I am so appalled by the cruelty of this coalition government (co-government?), I really wonder what kind of world they are trying to create. We received this from our local disability service provider today:
"The Ministry for Disability – Whaikaha has suddenly radically changed how people with disabilities are able to use their funding. This was announced on Monday the 18th and is to be in effect from Monday the 18th. We have been advised that as of next week all Whaikaha funding that was pre-approved has been discontinued, regardless of who holds the budget or what we are doing to support you and your whanau/families.
We are devastated about the impact of this for our clients and whanau/families and the impact this will have on our services ability to provide essential services. We are working hard to determine what this means in the longer term and continuing to seek further clarification and hope to be able to provide more information soon."
The whole disabled community will be shocked and devastated by this, and why? Is it because they are so determined to give everyone a $5 per week tax cut that they will destroy us all to do it? This is the worst governance I have ever seen!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
