Water quality.. Tamatea
How many people are willing to cancel and refuse to pay their proportion of the rates to do with water. My charge is $200 per annum. I am wanting to start the ball rolling and if we all do it, I am sure we will get action. I have finally had a gutsful. This morning my water is actually black, have done everything the council has asked of me. I have all my emails and paperwork over the past two and a half years, I have all the councils replies and pathetic responses, the excuses, you name it, I have it.
I am ready to go into battle with all and whoever I come across .
This is utter B&**SH@T from the Napier city council, and they have the gall to tell me my rates are rising this year by 6.4% this year, just after last year they rose from $1706 to $2050.
Join in and refuse to pay your water contribution on your rates bill everyone.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
