tauranga council
Do you remember before council elections councillor Browne told us that the council was looking at leasing a new building and not building one.
Then i think we all should be aware that the council is spending 700,000
dollars of your money in consulting on the new building and the new museum that has not been approved and was not even discussed as part of the elections. There are approximately 40,000 rate payer so you have just paid $17.50 to the council for nothing let alone the millions these two projects will cost. Do you also notice that once a councilor gets elected you never hear from them again.Inflation at less than 2% and rates goodness knows where to next. I have a cousin in auckland who lives in St Heliers and his rates are less than mine and all rubbish is included. Makes you think. TAURANGA COUNCIL IS OUT OF CONTROL

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)
.
