Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The Government will today unveil the next stage of its building reforms, allowing building professionals with indemnity insurance to self-certify their own work with the goal of cutting out council inspectors and reducing cost and delays for consumers.

We're talking new year resolutions...

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
