Petition to help young family
Hi there,
I'm helping a young family with links to the neighbourhood who are facing significant financial and emotional distress because of issues with their 'new build' home
A petition has been started on Change.Org which outlines their plight.
www.change.org...
The family - mum, dad and their young daughter - face growing frustrations, particularly with the Waikato District Council. Disappointingly even elected councillors, who you would hope would represent their constituents, are refusing to engage.
We hope that growing the number of votes on the petition will help spur the conscience of councillors and others, as well as start a conversation on a better way to support those let down by people they should have been able to trust.
Thanks for your consideration...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
