Rubbish Collection.
In search of transparency and reassurance void of parallel and undisclosed protocols,with Auckland Council.Having just found out that Tauranga City ratepayers are to be landed with an average annual house rates increase of $400, due to the Council changing collection contractors from a collection of private companies weekly, to a multi national monopoly, which prohibits refuse site use, stated household collections fortnightly,(imagine the vermin issue and summer heat stench increase), let alone overextending the existing bin capacity; at this recovery time, loss of existing jobs and supposed breach of existing contracts. One can only surmise this as a potential NZ infrastructure grab, as in the Islands of New Guinea, Rarotonga, Fiji and Vavau.This is so detrimental : it smacks of favours.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
