U H Leader Not Leading The Way

Michael from Trentham

Front page headlines in Upper Hutt Leader December 15, 2021: Work starts on $100m hub project.
First paragraph includes: work has begun on a new earthquake resistant commercial hub (etc etc).

Love to advise the unnamed writer that work in earnest started nearly three months ago on the Blue Mountains Campus and lots of people can vouch for this as they file past almost every day.

If this is the news of the day, then there is little use for the Leader as a newspaper.

In fact most of the information in this main item of the Dec 15 edition has previously been documented in better format in the Leader which at the time was considerably behind other news media including the DomPost, Stuff and the Willis Bond website.

Upper Hutt Rates Increases.

Paul from Trentham

Please excuse if I am posting this where is shouldn't be. Admins, do remove this if its not appropriate.

I have not done anything like this before so please excuse if my wording isn't quite right.


As most of us are aware the Upper Hutt City Council have proposed to raise their Rates by near on 20% each year over the next 3 years.

If your UHCC Rates are around $2500 per year, after the 3 years of increases they will be approximately $4300 which equals an extra $35ish per week. This will not only hit homeowners, rentals, hirage of venues etc but will be impacting the community as the costs will be passed on with such large increases over a short period of time.

As I am outraged about this, I have created a petition on change.org to hopefully be able to show the council how many are not for these massive increases in a short period of time.

If you would like to support this petition please go to the link and add your voice.

Thanks in advance.

PROPHECIES OF 2024 SHOW PROMISE

Michael from Trentham

Sixteenth century prophet, Nostradamus predictions for 2024 are quite numerous and as interpreted by some are promising to come to fruition already.

Ailing Pope Francis will die or retire and be replaced as pope by an African cardinal or bishop.

Donald Trump will be elected President of USA and consequently turmoil will resume in the USA and the world.

Terrible weather and other disasters of nature will occur that will affect the world.

Conflict between nations will intensify and spill over.

King Charles will die or abdicate, Prince William will reject taking the mantle and it will be left to Prince Harry to be installed as King.

The Hurricanes will win the Super Rugby Pacifica championship and the All Blacks will have an unbeaten year under the coaching of Scot Robertson.
