Local body elections

On the weekend I received my local body voting papers and a booklet full of candidates’ statements. Like many people I don’t know the majority of candidates although I recognise some of the names from the plethora of signage currently displayed.



Also on the weekend I read about Stuff’s project where they contacted every candidate in every council race to ask a series of questions about climate change. Stuff also asked them all for a short position statement on climate change issues. (Found at interactives.stuff.co.nz...)


I was disappointed to discover that some of the candidates in my district have not yet responded, or perhaps have no intention of responding, to the ten questions posed to them. We all have a range of views about climate change and possible council actions. I didn’t agree with some of the responses, including that of the candidate who answered ‘no’ to the first question: “The climate is warming as a direct consequence of human actions.”


But I commend that candidate for having the gumption to be honest to the voters.


To simplify my voting choices I’ve crossed out the names of all the candidates who did not respond to the survey.


The climate change issue is divisive and maybe the candidates who did not respond were worried that expressing a point of view may lose them some votes. Or perhaps they were too busy doing other things, such as putting up more signs asking for our votes. That’s not the type of person I want to be an elected representative of my community.


I would prefer to vote for that candidate who answered ‘no’, than to vote for someone who chooses to keep silent over an important issue.

Hi neighbours, how do you rate your your driving? And what do you think are the biggest risks on our region's roads?

Canterbury drivers overestimate their ability and think other road users are the problem, new research shows.

A total of 1460 people from Kaikōura to Waitaki, including 497 from Christchurch, completed an online survey about their driving habits.

Findings showed 42 per cent rated their own driving ability as above average. The same group considered 73 per cent of other drivers to be only average drivers.

Expect to have a fun-filled night based around the 70's TV show 'It's in the bag', but with a twist.

Throughout the night you could have the chance to win one of twelve bags. All it will take is your number to be called (you will get one when you arrive at the door) and correctly answering three simple questions.

The event is an R18 evening as a cash bar will be available. Food will also be available from some great food vendors.

A great raffle and some awesome auction items will be up for grabs also.

This will be a St John charity ambassador led evening with all proceeds going directly to St John to help with the great work they do as first responders and within the community.
