New refuse/rubbish pick up...again

John from Papamoa Beach

Just to remind you: there is a superb online petition sponsored by the Papamoa ratepayers association at www.papamoaprogressive.co.nz...

If you want a reality check, consider how the TCC is "gaslighting" us about their Kerbside rubbish collection mandate for next year. Read the information/research conducted by the Papamoa ratepayers association that follows on from their petition against the TCC's action.

You can go directly to the petition at: www.taurangarubbishoptions.com... . Then just keep scrolling down.

Remember this "Neighbourly" post from Julie Rau at election time: "As quoted in Sunlive Mayor Powell, Councillors Clout, Hughes, Abrie, Grainger, Baldock voted for the the new overseas owned operator. Remember them when voting in the next council elections."

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
