Water Wasteage

Bill from Tawa

I see with my Rates Demand from WCC that there is a notice from Wellington Water telling me that garden watering restrictions are now in place. I am somewhat surprised that I should have to conserve water when there is a water leak in our street from a fire hydrant that flows 24/7. I advised Council of this leak in early September and received the acknowledgements etc and advised me to tell them if it got any worse. I did this a couple of weeks later - and still got another acknowledgement notice from WCC and Wellington Water - BUT no fix. I do wonder just how many other water leaks there are around our City that need a fix. Will we have to wait for the new Government 3 Waters to do this work? A lot of water wasted before then.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

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?
