ON THE PIG'S BACK.
Can anyone give me a sensible and valid reason for this scenario?
Pensioner, who lives RIGHT next door to partner who is in a Rest Home gets a payment every fortnight on top of the pension, of $78.70 net for travel expenses. (2 mins walk).
Pensioner who has to travel several kilometres to see his or her partner by car or taxi gets exactly the same amount.
If this existed in a private business, it would be bankrupt in a very short time.
It is as easy as Googling the mileage, and setting the rate to suit.
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)
.
