Brought to you by the same council that has just imposed a 9.7% rates increase... after all.... virtue signalling and token gestures cost a lot of money... Ask Wellington... https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/104419030/hamilton-residents-see-substantial-rates-increase
...and is anyone surprised that major projects that would help stimulate economic activity such as the Levin expressway extension have been canned by the current government in favour of trendy ideology. Meanwhile business confidence lags and they cant work out why..... must be time for another review...
Great... except this is going to have no impact on the cost of land in Auckland for example... 300K-400K for the land (of which a large chunk is taxes, red tape etc) + 300K plus to build a home at market rates (labour cost and materials). It will not make any difference to first home buyers. Theyll still be paying $650k for an âaffordableâ home in Auckland...
Why? Its one of the few games worth watching these days.... good to see the players returning to their roots as well and having a few bevvies along the way too!
Yep. Light rail is going to be a huge benefit to anyone living up the Kapiti Coast or in Hutt Valley.... and last I checked that is where the Wellington region is growing...
Just shows you how the Big Bash has lowered the standard of Aussie Cricketers... many of the current team were stars in the BBL (Darcy Short, AJ Tye etc...)... kind or reminds me what Super Rugby has done to Australian teams also...
Not really as it's the sport all the kids in Australia are playing instead of rugby... and I never thought I'd see the day that rugby became softer than AFL
Meh... its already happened in Aussie and its no big deal. Single use plastic bags have been replaced with 15c bags made from thicker plastic. Mine still get used for the same purpose, i.e. rubbish bags that end up in the same place.... a landfill. Nothing has changed, but the new bags will take a lot longer to break down in a landfill... hmm...
Nah. I hope the Waratahs and Hurricanes win so the final can be played in front of a crowd of 10,000 people in Sydney. I mean the Waratahs really will have earned that home final finishing 7th. Sorry I mean 3rd.
Rugby violent in 2018... you havent watched much from the 1970s or 1980s... check out Bucks punch from the 1987 world cup semi against Wales... beats watching any game of rugby today....
Seriously... Banglaindia have no clue on anything other than a flat deck... and they are still crying about the infamous Hamilton greentop 20 years later...
