Coming home from night shift on Thursday morning, our lovely letterbox had been defaced.
Not happy with my removal of this defacing/graffiti, they came back on Saturday morning and using a vehicle (possibly a white Ute) they pushed our letterbox over breaking its leg.
Please if anyone saw any of this activity, contact Steve on 027 294 2165 or the nearest Police station. This is not the first time our lovely letterboxes have been targeted. We know who you are, just need the proof to nail this piece of sh....

New Zealand’s 10,000th electric vehicle owner received a visit from associate transport minister and climate change minister James Shaw on September 21.
“Ten thousand EVs is an important milestone, particularly when you think that five years ago we had just 210 EVs registered,” Shaw says.

Interested to learn more, but don't know who or what to believe? Think it's the future, or complete nonsense? Local members are welcome to join my group All About Electric Vehicles and ask away. Everyone with an honest interest in EVs is welcome and encouraged to participate, be it posting and responding, or just listening in to learn more, no matter if already an EV owner, or just interested, or on the fence, or new to the topic, or sceptical, or even opposed.

Says he has a building company with 26 workers yet rips off a recently widowed woman who foolishly, when he asked her, paid him for a job before he had started. He asked for the money up front on the pretense of needing for materials. After 2 months of stringing me along with the most ridiculous stories..bank made a mistake and put money in wrong account.. all bar 3 of his workers were sick with flu! I am left with taking him to court. Turns out he doesn't own any building company and probably is not even a builder.
This has been very stressful for me and I debated posting this but I would say I am more than likely not the first person he has done this to so to prevent if I can, others falling for his lies and scams I decided I will. The scum bags name is Scott Fraser.. I think originally from Christchurch. He went on holiday on my money to Christchurch just after he received it!! He was sposed to be working on my job☹️ He even had a company going through their accounts because he said he had put the money into their account for the materials.. But oh no..his bank made a mistake and deposited into wrong account! Another lie.. now he's saying he's reordered through ANOTHER company!! Huh?? Just give me my money back..

In April 1948, a small band of theatre enthusiasts got together at a private residence to form the society. Little would they have ever dreamed their successors would continue to attract sell-out houses some three score years and ten later.
After a series of different make-shift venues in the first 30 years, the society set up permanent residence at 13 Aubrey St in 1978 and, with the addition of a new octagonal auditorium (hence "The Octagon"), new life was breathed into the old villa.
Each year around 2,200 patrons enjoy the shows thanks to an ever-growing band of individuals passionate about the performing arts. They give freely of their time to source, research, direct and produce popular plays.
Topped off with affordable menus and a tipple or two served by dining and bar volunteers, it is a recipe for success that has stood the test of time.
The Society embraces the challenges to keep pace with millennium demands and, continually, rejuvenates itself with new faces, new ideas and new technology in order to future-proof its longevity.
As a non-profit charitable organisation managed by volunteers it relies heavily on donations, grants, membership fees and even bequests. The theatre and land are now freehold but insurance premiums and rates bite hard. And while a heroic treasurer constantly juggles the finances, it's the dedicated band of volunteers and loyal patrons that ensures the shows continue to go on.

The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?
