The rewards for this abdication of local loyalty are political career opportunities and campaign assistance – databases, email systems, door-knocking volunteers, billboard teams and social media support. One recent bauble was Mayor Barry’s appointment to the Labour Government’s Three Waters review taskforce, a body that reported back very recently with, you guessed it, no substantial changes to the policy opposed by the majority of Lower Hutt’s residents.
The Labour Party Constitution in force during the 2019 council elections contains Rule 95 (linked below):
R95: Any person accepting nomination as a Party candidate shall sign a pledge ….
R95(e): I will faithfully observe the Constitution and Policy of the Party and the policy of the party for the [Lower Hutt] district.
R95(f): If elected, I will vote … in accordance with the decisions [of the Labour ticket members].
And the following rule dictates that Labour candidates will support each other no matter what:
R95(c): I will wholeheartedly support the duly selected candidates of the Party in the [Lower Hutt] district. - next part 3

Butter Back On Menu

Michael from Trentham

At least in Upper Hutt, lovers of pure butter can resist resisting buying butter because it has expanded in price beyond their budget.

PaknSave, Upper Hutt this week and for the last two weeks has been selling one brand of 500g pure butter for $4.99 and another brand at $5.02.

At least in Upper Hutt, lovers of pure butter can resist resisting buying butter because it has expanded in price beyond their budget.

PaknSave, Upper Hutt this week and for the last two weeks has been selling one brand of 500g pure butter for $4.99 and another brand at $5.02.

With butter unlike some other dairy products, the brand seems to make little or no difference to me with taste and longevity than the more expensive brands.

I am temporarily at least, out of the market for semi-soft 500g pure butter because PaknSave, UH is selling them for over $10 and no doubt at other supermarkets even dearer.

Whilst on the subject of dairy - yesterday bought a 1kg block of cheese for under $10 from the same PaknSave.

"Although you can't tell they are sisters and they are now 13 years old and will be 14 this coming January. I brought them back from Australia with me when I came home to New Zealand. They are by my side every day. They love people, walks and treats. They were used to walking every day on the beach in Adelaide but here in Avalon the beach is too far away for us to walk to."

Salted Peanuts Worth Peanuts

Michael from Trentham

Bought from the bulk bins section of PaknSave, Upper Hutt yesterday a supply of unsalted peanuts for my Sun Conure parrot.

So when I came to distributing a quantity into one of his food trays, took the liberty to sample one myself. It was salty. So tried a few more and also salted.

Don't know the full consequences of giving a small parrot salt to eat daily but it aint good - just as salt is no go for dogs..

So PnS ahould be much more careful as some humans let alone parrots can die or be a stepping stone to organs breakdown from eating salt/sodium or too much salt/sodium.

Did phone the supermarket who were not particularly concerned.

Should they be?

And yes, it was the unsalted roasted peanuts bin the peanuts came from.
