Tauranga Rubbish Theft.

Robert from Greerton - Parkvale

Have your say on the Tauranga Rubbish Decision!
The rubbish debacle information rollout continues. What has the Council signed the ratepayers up to? Is the Council only passing on the cost from Envirowaste or is it adding a large markup to this figure? All this for a reduced service rubbish pickup. And still, no Pay as You Throw option. This is the only real way to minimise rubbish. WBOP chose a Pay as You Throw scheme.

Papamoa Residents & Ratepayers Association has an Online Petition for ratepayers to record their views on the rubbish decision. The results will be presented to the Council in a public forum.

And don't forget that the ratepayers are fronting with the $8 million dollars to buy the bins, something we have never had to do before and a subsidy to envirowaste. That is after they steal your waste and the rightful business of the current contractors for no compensation. The council neither own your waste nor do they own the collection system. Theft on a grand scale.

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.
