Another Unnecessary closure
Taranaki Star June 10. AA to close Hawera Office. Business to be transferred to the i-site run by the Council. What was NOT printed in the newspaper was that the HO of AA are making 4 staff redundant. Closing the current office because they claim the building is not fit for purpose. Hold on - they have used the building since 1950's. Something clearly is wrong here. How many more corporate businesses are going to carry out the same thing and reduce country towns to ghost towns. Banks make huge profits but dont give a s--- about staff or customers. The Council staff endeavour to attract new business and end up getting a church owned business which will be registered as a non profit organisation so pay NO TAX. People we have to speak up loudly and stop the rot.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
