The Trusts - in West Auckland forever

Lets face it, much has been said here on Neighbourly over the last couple of years about the Trusts continued control over West Auckland, some of us against and some in support. We understand how they came to power but how they managed to maintain that power over the years without challenge is undemocratic and totally Mickey-Mouse. It seems there will not be a vote/referendum/survey.......nothing! It's too hard, even the supermarkets have given up trying. The Trusts will just do another million dollar giveaway anytime they are threatened. Is this ok though? Are West Auckland folk happy to go along with this deceptive style of doing business?

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
