Poll: Are Kiwis bad drivers?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Each country has its own idiosyncrasies when it comes to driving and New Zealand is no different.
With daily near-misses, people incorrectly indicating at roundabouts and a lack of stopping at stop signs, it begs the question: Are Kiwis actually not that good at driving?

Disability funding. Rules have changed overnight

Glen from Central Whangarei

Massive changes have been announced for disability funding. Rules have changed overnight, and restrictions enforced immediately with no warning—those with severely disabled children. Mums and dads are on duty 24/7 and looking after dependent children; these people are the first target.
.
Our government targeting the weakest in society for cuts. Just nasty


Now, MSD is going to target give-a-little pages supporting sick people.
.
This is going to lead to more suicides, poverty-related crime, and more desperation.

More learning disabled in jail.

I have this radical idea called early intervention, which involves teaching children to read and write in schools, not jails.

I wrote about disabled people and marginalisation, and here is my book titled.
