New refuse/rubbish pick up...again

John from Papamoa Beach

Just to remind you: there is a superb online petition sponsored by the Papamoa ratepayers association at www.papamoaprogressive.co.nz...

If you want a reality check, consider how the TCC is "gaslighting" us about their Kerbside rubbish collection mandate for next year. Read the information/research conducted by the Papamoa ratepayers association that follows on from their petition against the TCC's action.

You can go directly to the petition at: www.taurangarubbishoptions.com... . Then just keep scrolling down.

Remember this "Neighbourly" post from Julie Rau at election time: "As quoted in Sunlive Mayor Powell, Councillors Clout, Hughes, Abrie, Grainger, Baldock voted for the the new overseas owned operator. Remember them when voting in the next council elections."

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
