tax and climate change
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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
