Dave Murdoch of Tauranga was nominated by Ian Smith for being quite simply, the nicest neighbour!

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"

If you have a Nice Neighbour, don't keep it to yourself. You might win a $25 Prezzy® card each and a shoutout on Stuff. Go on, nominate them now!

Voting Dilema

Gordon from Halswell

What worries me, is: The media, which is lying to us about politicians, that are lying to us, we do not believe either of them. So we, the voting public are allowed to vote on the topics and policies that we, the media, and the politicians know are not true, or if some are true, we do not know … View moreWhat worries me, is: The media, which is lying to us about politicians, that are lying to us, we do not believe either of them.

The Gvt used the term "People should use their 'Common Sense".
There is no such thing, if Covid has not impacted you personally, you have no 'common sense' of Covid to relate to.
Stay safe people.
