Waitangi Day and the long weekend

Phil Goff from Phil Goff

Hi Auckland,

I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend. The sun was shining brightly and Aucklanders were out in force, which was great to see.

I saw some big crowds at Hayman Park, Manukau and Parrs Park in Henderson yesterday for the Waitangi celebrations. Impressive challenge and welcome for the PM at Hoani Waititi Marae. People enjoying sunny weather, the festivities and food stalls.

I capped off Waitangi day by getting some exercise on the farm, loading up hay bales. Hot work, but a cold beer afterwards helped with the recovery.

Have a great week, Auckland!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
