tax and climate change

Dave from Papamoa Beach

well i said it two years ago before the local and government elections and now we have it Taxinder got in and now we are paying more tax on fuel and cars ..we now have a replacement for nana Helen and the nanny state is now back with plastic bags gone and straws will be next and then cash will be gone and jobs will become harder to get.Listen to the news people on job benefits up 11% Whats nana Jacinder got coming next.
Then you have the idiots in council that haven't got a clue and rates go up again by way more than inflation. I was in auckland last week and it was a lot easier driving from Pukekohe to the city than driving from papamoa to Tauranga. What have this council done to the roads , well they've made Greerton take twice as long to get to and other changes around the city to make it harder to drive anywhere. Still if you voted all these idiots in so all you can do is look in the mirror and blame yourselves. We reap what we sow.
The only councillors we should even consider are the ones that say the number one priority is to fix the bloody roads.

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank

Anna from Mount Maunganui

Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing

You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.

If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
