Poll: How do you feel about working from home?

Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

In a University of Otago study last year, 89 per cent wanted to continue to work from home at least part of the time post lockdown - but what suits you?

Three Waters - Government Proposal

The absolute audacity of the Labour Government to railroad the "Three Waters Reforms" (Water, Waste Water and Sewerage) through without proper consultation beggars belief! The proposal is to cut the 67 councils to only four and remove our assets without due consultation or compensation. Quote - "Progressing the Three Waters Service Delivery Reforms - 49.1 remove obstacles in local government legislation that prohibit councils from divesting ownership of, or control over, water infrastructure assets and services." 14 Dec 2020 Cabinet Paper, CAB-20-Min-0521.01 Minute. The only reason for this dramatic upheaval is that over the next 30 years, they say it will become too expensive for Ratepayers to maintain the infrastructure.
The answer is in our NZ History by using Reserve Bank Credit as we did from 1936 till 1989. Irrefutable evidence from the RBNZ Bulletin March 2008 and Royal Commission on Banking NZ, 1956 page 24 showing that only 3 % of Government expenditure came from the private banking system for War purposes, which is proof that the answer is in NZ History. Today because we borrow every dollar as Debt with compounding Interest from the private banks, we cannot even afford to maintain them! - Ian Davey

All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

Potting containers

Aaron from Stoke

Does anyone have large 20 to 25 ltr containers for plants they’re not wanting? Just plastic ones, nothing fancy.
I am after quite a few and happy to pay a couple dollars for some if needed.
(Obviously to collect when lockdown is over)
Thanks

Manager Loui Hornell said he and his "Christmas-mad" wife Kristina Hornell, had been umming and ahing since the start of the level 4 lockdown about whether to put up some of the bright decorations. Kristina had also put up their own Christmas tree inside, he said. Have you put up any Christmas decorations yet?
