Local Elections
Yesterday I saw an election billboard put up by Angela Oleary who is standing for Mayor in the upcoming council elections.
It has a statement on it "No more dodgy deals".
What are these "Dodgy Deals" she is referring to?
Why is she bringing this up now? She has been on the council since forever and hasn't bought the matter to anyone's attention before that I have seen.
If "Dodgy deals" were being done in the past then, as a Councillor, it was her place to make people aware of them or she is complicit in those "Dodgy deals".
Doesn't say much for what she would be like as our Mayor does it?

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Have you got a job for Don?
For most people in their early 80s, having to find work in order to make ends meet is something they will have happily put behind them in order to enjoy the fruits of retirement.
For Don McGovern, it’s an ongoing necessity - but also a challenge he is relishing.
Ideally, he would love to be employed as a groundskeeper, gardener, or on some kind of lawn mowing contract.
