Let butchers open during the lockdown
Many people including myself buy their meat at independent butchers rather than the supermarket. Now the butchers have been told they have to close as they are 'non-essential'.

Supermarkets shouldn't be given a monopoly on the sale of meat. See also: Coronavirus: Piles of meat to be given away, thrown out after butchers told they're not an 'essential bu

South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC) consultation documents create an impression that the SWDC is raising rates by only 2%. That is not the case. The Council plans to increase its annual operating expenditure by 18% for next year – see page 24 of Council’s supporting information for consultation. There is smoke and mirrors around the figures but it is clear that rates will rise over the longer term from Council’s proposals this year by at least 13%, and likely more especially if the Greytown

Bring Missy Elliot to Friday Jams Live NZ 2020
It's worth a shot so I'll give it a go. With three successful Friday Jams Live concerts so far, every year I hope this Queen comes but nothing so far. I've been a diehard fan since she started, would love to see her grace our New Zealand stage to be the final showstopper for the evening at Friday Jams Live 2020. So share, sign, everything and hopefully someone who knows her will see this and let her know 😉🤣 Dreams are free 👌🏽

Petition to Ban Single-use Plastic Straws at McDonald’s
"Plastic straws and other single-use plastics are a non-essential part of our life. Yet, they cause so much damage to the environment," Get Green Now states. "The degrading of plastic could release chemicals that are toxic to wildlife and the environment." Plastic straws are polluting the environment and is having a very negative effect on marine life. Turtles have been found with plastic straws stuck in their nose. In a country of 4 million people, New Zealanders use 540 million plastic straws

Stop the Cut to Library Funding
Thames-Coromandel council pushes pause on library book spend to reduce 10 per cent rates rise.
