Georgia Reporter from Stuff

National's "Minister for Everything" fought back tears during his final sign off to Parliament. While speaking about his autistic son, his voice cracked and he had to pause. It was a moment that reduced his fellow MPs to total silence. What did you think of his final goodbye?

Just a friendly reminder that tsunami siren testing will be conducted by Christchurch CDEM this Sunday 1 April 2018 at 11am. Could you please take note and distribute to your networks as necessary.

The tsunami sirens installed along Christchurch’s coastline from Brooklands to Taylors Mistake will be tested as part of a biannual testing exercise to coincide with daylight savings.

The sirens will sound for up to three minutes and can usually be heard a few blocks from the coastline.

If you live near the coast, it’s a good time to check whether you are in a tsunami evacuation zone and to work out a plan with your family.

Depending on what options you select, it shows my rates will rise by 20.5% (5.1%/ annum over 4 years) with all options included, or 15.8%(3.9% over 4 years) with no options selected.
No matter what options you take, the percentage increases are well in excess of the CPI. The Reserve Bank inflation calculator shows the CPI increase since the year 2000 at 2.2%, or since 2012 1.1%. Councils around the country seem to think that the Ratepayer community is comfortable with annual increases up to 5%, so therefore aim for something slightly less and then look for applause from the ratepayers for such care!
If you ask Councils to justify the increase being in excess of the CPI, they always refer to the imported cost of Road materials which is probably bitumen products. We all know that oil based products have been much cheaper over the past few years - so why now the increase well in excess of the CPI? Maybe the CEO of Waimakariri District Council could answer this.
