New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

If you’re wondering how the first 50 odd years of your life disappeared so fast, and how, although it feels like the 80s was yesterday, it seems to be about three decades ago. I am too!
I've just turned 49, which means I’ll be 50 next year. So I’m writing a post a day and want you to join my 365 day journey to 50 on my FB group. Sometimes reflective, sometimes thoughtful, or just a jolly good bitch session about kids, partner, life – the usual stuff. You’ll definitely relate! So while you're stuck inside on this nasty Saturday check it out, join up and be part of the conversation! I look forward to hearing your views!

Rates

The Team from CAB Wellington

Rates invoices have been arriving in the mail, if you haven't already received yours it will be coming. Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for?

Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for? A lot of people think you have to be over 65 years old before you can apply but if your income tax is $25,180 or less and live in your own home you may be able to claim the full amount of $630. Exactly how much you get will depend on what your rates bill is, how many children or dependents you have and your income. The rebate is income tested so even if you earn more than this you may qualify for some assistance. If you want to know more pop into your local bureau and talk with the volunteers, we can also tell you about rates remission for first home builders and rates postponement if you are experiencing extreme financial hardship.
