Ports of Auckland will proclaim and hide behind the convenient covid excuse, but how do they explain that the majority of their cranes are sitting idle as they don't have operators to man them, and why is this one may ask? could it be something to do with the amount of staff laid off during covid that have never been replaced. Then of course to offset their losses they place extra charges on importers and exporters, the latest being a congestion charge that they themselves have created, and surprise surprise if you don't pay it you don't get the goods, but at the end of the day my fellow consumers who is going to pay the extra charges ( no prizes for getting this right ) YOU and ME

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.
The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.
The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.
The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.
Do you support council turning on splashpads in the drought?
