  Councils votes overwhelmingly in favour.

To keep Maori seats.... Well done them, nice little smack in the eye for this disgraceful govt.

They've badly underestimated the strength of feeling on this issue. More than half of the 45 district, city & regional counclils have voted in the past month with all but two choosing to retain Maori seats for the 2025 election.

  Is this our most heartless govt ever?
Posted by: Lilith7 - 31-08-2024, 03:19 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (5)

Disabled toddlers therapy unfunded after govt changes. His medication is over $500 a month so they're now having to fundraise.

This govt. just don't seem to have understood the reality of the changes they're making; for some it will mean life or death, including this child. Or is it that they understand only too well but just do not care?

  Simeon Brown committed to removing Iwi from CCC
Posted by: Lilith7 - 30-08-2024, 03:32 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (5)

And has met with opposition thankfully. What arrogance, attempting to decide what any regional council can or can't do when it comes to representation. They said that the current arrangement is working well & surely that's what matters rather than the fact that his nibs & his fellow politicians are anti Maori. Dodgy

Apparently he's 'disappointed' about this & is 'working through options.'  Not keen on taking NO for an answer.


If this govt continues down this road I suspect they're in for one hell of a fight from various councils around the country; I think they've badly underestimated the reaction.

  fake listing
Posted by: amrist - 30-08-2024, 07:51 AM - Forum: Trademe Discussion - Replies (14)

I bought on TM using PING on the 13th. Paid postage on the 17th and have been waiting since. I asked for tracking but no reply. The seller last logged on 17 JUNE. How can someone place a listing without logging in?

The listing says, "from a pet free home". His account has a photo of a B/W cat....


Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby Wah-Pedal | Trade Me Marketplace

The 9th photo in the listing has a sticker price $219 on the box, which is an overseas price. The RockShop AKL price is NZ$299. It appears the pics are lifted from the net.

I have placed dispute Res with TM to try get my money back

Has anyone had experience with getting a PING refund. Will this take forever and what to expect?
any advice, thanks Amy

  Dame Gaylene Preston on cuts to Arts
Posted by: Lilith7 - 29-08-2024, 03:31 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (4)

She called our delightful govt. 'daft'....I could think of other terms. Rolleyes

Those schools which are 'art rich' tend to have high attendance rates, which is hardly surprising. If they want kids at school & enjoying it then its blindingly obvious that arts of all kinds is the way to achieve that.


But alas - it seems that idiot politicians are somehow threatened by the arts & would prefer us all to be obedient, unthinking, grey robot-like creatures..

Creatives in schools was stopped from the start of the financial year 2024/2025

  Building starts on our largest solar farm
Posted by: Lilith7 - 28-08-2024, 04:03 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (9)

Very interesting photo of politicians - you have to wonder just how familiar any of that lot are with a  spade, brand spanking new spades by the look of them, too... Rolleyes Big Grin 

Not that there's a problem with a solar farm in principle. Its just the quote down the page a bit, about how the solar panels are designed to 'observe' the sun rather than reflect it, so as not to cause problems for the nearby airport.
