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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
