tax and climate change

Dave from Papamoa Beach

well i said it two years ago before the local and government elections and now we have it Taxinder got in and now we are paying more tax on fuel and cars ..we now have a replacement for nana Helen and the nanny state is now back with plastic bags gone and straws will be next and then cash will be gone and jobs will become harder to get.Listen to the news people on job benefits up 11% Whats nana Jacinder got coming next.
Then you have the idiots in council that haven't got a clue and rates go up again by way more than inflation. I was in auckland last week and it was a lot easier driving from Pukekohe to the city than driving from papamoa to Tauranga. What have this council done to the roads , well they've made Greerton take twice as long to get to and other changes around the city to make it harder to drive anywhere. Still if you voted all these idiots in so all you can do is look in the mirror and blame yourselves. We reap what we sow.
The only councillors we should even consider are the ones that say the number one priority is to fix the bloody roads.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
