Hunderwasser - Disgraceful Waste of Our Money

Where are these tourists coming from, may I ask? I can't see Cov-19 going away anytime soon, can you, realistically? If Ms Ardern has any sense, those borders would remain closed for a very long time to come, if the Australian bubble is anything to go by....

How can anyone, in their right mind, spend our money in this disgraceful way, when there are 300, yes 300 homeless people sleeping rough right this minute? What's more important? Revenue or peoples' lives? Thanks.

"Being deaf is no barrier to learning and seeing someone like me achieving qualifications and working in a job that has a lot of responsibility has hopefully encouraged them to give it a go.”

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.

Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.
