Jacinda says only enough for nurses to get 1.38 percent pay rise but happy to pay $700 million for cyclists to get their own harbour bridge.

Re: Nigel Mckenzie’ text, 2 officers are only a tiny improvement on the current situation. Need at least 6 to act as any sort of deterrent. We are a town of 17,000 for goodness sakes, and crims are now breaking the law with impunity. What will it take for police hierarchy to see sense? SEH

Here is a govt that spends $50m on dead people but has no money to pay people who bust their gut to keep people alive. Wake up, folks. robo

Nurses are told not enough in the kitty for pay increases. Simple suggestion: reduce the ridiculous $730 million forma¯ori health by several million.

Get a balanced tax system or we boycott free loaders.

If PNCC hadn’t wasted NZ Transport funding on those stupid planter boxes on certain streets, it would have been well spent on footpaths.

We hope the council takes notice of Powerco about trees on power lines as council doesn’t cut trees on streets off lines.

[Council staff have] rocks in their heads with stupid art work. Why doesn’t it fix up the roads? Drive past Takaro sports centre – disgusting, been like it for over a year.
