Disability funding. Rules have changed overnight

Our government targeting the weakest in society for cuts. Just nasty


Now, MSD is going to target give-a-little pages supporting sick people.

This is going to lead to more suicides, poverty-related crime, and more desperation.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
