As pensioners with very little income, as what we did have on deposit, is earning “bugger all” and we are eating into it rapidly. All 7 of your proposals in the pamphlet, would suck into our pension worse than before. It has been calculated that we would be up for somewhere around the 20 odd plus percent rates rise, with your proposals. 1. Change to capital value rating. Why should we on higher valued properties have to pay for those who chose to buy or rent in areas with lower valued properties, when we as pensioners are struggling. Those people chose to live where they are, just as we did. 2. Remove both flat rates: Your assumption is totally and emphatically wrong when you say that changing the UAGC from everyone pays the same, to one based on the value of your property, is considered to be the best measure of a persons ability to pay. WHAT PLANET DO YOU ALL LIVE ON. You have no idea what income people have, or any other commitments, including supporting other family members etc.. 3. Reduce the extra charged to commercial properties The larger companies can well afford the current rates and if smaller business cannot afford the current rates, then they have not planned properly and should not be in business. 4. Move away from scheme-based capital rates for water and wastewater. Once again people knew what they were buying when they purchased their properties. Why should all ratepayers fund improvements for them. We have tank water and septic tanks. Should we expect all ratepayers to pay us if we need extra water or our septic tanks emptied? At the moment we are not in an area that gives us a choice of town water or sewage. We are happy with that, we knew what we were buying. 5. Reduce the water and wastewater availability charge. We do not agree with that charge at all let alone reducing it. If people choose to not connect whether it is financial or saving the planet, they should not be charged anything, if they are not using it. 6. Introduce a small public good charge for water and wastewater to every rateable property. Why should people on septic tanks and tank water have to pay TWICE. We have never had a water delivery anyway as we are very careful with our usage of our rainwater tank. But if we did why should we pay council and the contractor. The same goes for emptying the septic tank. We are already forced by council bylaws to get it emptied at least every 5yrs, full or not. The contractor prices his price on mileage and Volume 6 1 disposal cost included. Why should we pay 5years in a row for something that only happens once every 5 years. 7. Change the stormwater targeted rate so that rating units in the area of benefit cover most of the cost. Once again, people who own those properties affected by the current system, know what they are paying for and this new proposal is tantamount to giving them a reduction at the expense of the rest of the ratepayers including those who in other places in this pamphlet, you say that you would like to be fairer to, including people in poorer areas and situations. Additional supporting information Which ward do you live in? Bay of Islands-Whangaroa ID Number IBS44 Date 6/04/2021 Volume 6 2 Surname Kerr First name Jenni Organisation Position Project / Main topic Far North District Council 2021-31 Long Term Plan Notes First, I wish to support the idea of a change to capital-based rates, provided that the general runifor ates are only applied when services are available and used (e.g. pay for rubbish bags if needed and used, not dished out regardless). Rain water harvest by purchasing own tanks; grey water garden use and home composting thereby encouraged instead of community processing. Next, a very warm thank you to “covid funds” thereby central Government has at last made some amends about a “tarseal-over- the-forestry-road” done for the last kauri cowboys ripping off logs till the Pawarenga lot put it to a stop. At last, road has a decent foundation for seven kilometres. Third, if you want to drive any further, all bets are off. Every time the road divides, it’s downhill. Metal roads in North Hokianga are so rough locals have to replace cars twice as often as townies. The roads wreck them. Mufflers, sure, but have yu ever had a roof- rack rattle completely off on the first kilomete of corrugations? Not just potholes either. Drop-outs, over-slips, under-slips, and just plain bare slippery bits: no gravel at all, and frequently no drainage either. Each makes the other worse. (More, later...) “Drive to the conditions” is all very well if you have 4 wheel drive, all the time in the world, and no issues to hamper you. Imagine please -just for a moment- if you had no choice but to drive with only a single lane going uphill on a blind corner, with a huge hump smack in the middle set to destroy your under-carriage when it connects, and you don’t know when the next 40 tonne logging truck and trailer rig driving a tight schedule is going to swing around that same corner aimed straight for where you are. And it isn’t even raining yet. What would you do? Carry a pick, a shovel, a sack of gravel and some witches’ hats? At a recent pop-up Council meeting local people were about ready to fly off their handles -not broomsticks- when told that if, for safety, any locals went out and gravelled their own public road, they “would be taking the law into their own hands” and be liable for anything that happened. So is Volume 6 3 Council liable for the state of its roads if anything happens? This, after being advised that a mother was in hospital after an accident due to conditions on the notorious Runaruna Rd... that tamariki on the Mitimiti school bus arrive bruised by the road trip... The only response to this was that Council has to “prioritise”. If instead, we had been told the facts to consider and this had led to some logical solutions, such as: 1. Northern Transport Alliance only checks some roads each two months, often right after grading: >>> So maybe give contractors leeway to take practical action when needed? 2. Covid projects are taking all available gravel, it may be three months to finish those before any catch-up is done: > Request Government vary contract timing, and prepare for winter? 3. New grader drivers learn slowly or prove unreliable: >Improve training or move them on? Then we could support Council to make realistic changes... No, we felt fobbed off, yet again. Back home, a passing contractor supplied some facts instead. And on-the-spot obligingly actioned all he could while my RFS on a dangerous oversight that has been the scene of multiple crashes, scrapes and near misses was still doing the email rounds. He also observed that people over here are so grateful for small services, while the east coasters make a big fuss about every little poyhole. (On a side-note, I am grateful to report that our RFS to re-design the road markings to be clearer and safer has with not another email in sight now been implemented ! Yay!!) More frequent clearing of water tables and culverts would prevent much road damage. Such maintenance jobs are sometimes left for fifteen years. Other work may be simply botched, and left, unless locals take initiative themselves disregarding any “liability”.

  • Mission Film Script-Word
    A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the research requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing. 8 November 2002, revised April 2016 Sophia (Sophie) Charlotte Rose Jerram PO Box 11 517 Wellington New Zealand i 1 Mission Notes on storv and location This film is set in two locations and in two time zones. It tells a story concerning inter-racial, same-sex love, and the control of imagemaking. A. The past story, 1828-1836 is loosely based on the true story of New Zealand Missionary William Yate and his lover, Eruera Pare Hongi. It is mostly set in Northland, New Zealand, and focuses on the inland Waimate North Mission and surrounding Maori settlement. B. The present day story is a fictional account of Riki Te Awata and an English Photographer, Jeffrey Edison. It is mostly set in the community around a coastal marae and a derelict Southern Mission.1 Sophie Jerram November 2002 1 Unlike the Waimate Mission, this ‘Southern Mission’ is fictional. It was originally intended to be the Puriri mission, at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular, established by William Yate in 1834. Since the coastal mission I have set the film in is nothing like Puriri I have dropped the name. i EXT. PORT JACKSON 1836, DAY A painted image (of the John Gully School) of the historical port of Sydney fills the entire screen. It depicts a number of ships: whaling, convict and trade vessels.

  • New Zealand Report Oliver Hellmann, Jennifer Curtin, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator)
    New Zealand Report Oliver Hellmann, Jennifer Curtin, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2020 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2020 | 2 New Zealand Report Executive Summary New Zealand’s year was overshadowed by the right-wing terrorist attack on a mosque in Christchurch in March of 2019, which killed 51 people. However, it would be wrong to interpret this horrific incident as a failure of governance failure. Instead, the decisive and swift political response in the aftermath of the attack demonstrates that New Zealand’s political system is equipped with high levels of institutional capacity. Within weeks of the politically motivated mass shooting, the government passed tighter guns laws, rolled out a gun buy-back scheme, and established a specialist unit tasked with investigating extremist online content. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was also widely praised for her sensitivity and compassion in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. Generally speaking, policymaking is facilitated by New Zealand’s Westminster-style democracy, which concentrates political power in the executive and features very few veto players. Even though the mixed-member electoral system – which replaced the old first-past-the-post system in 1996 – produces a moderately polarized party system and typically fails to deliver absolute parliamentary majorities, this does not impede cross-party agreements in policymaking. However, while New Zealand’s political system is commonly regarded as one of the highest-quality democracies in the world, the country struggles with issues of media pluralism. The media market is dominated by (mostly foreign-owned) commercial conglomerates, which place greater emphasis on entertainment than on critical news-gathering.

In the 1950s, he wrote that New Zealand’s cities “were among the most joyless in human history.” Now, some 60 years later, I’d venture he’d eat those words. We were meandering about the city of Auckland reminiscing about the change that Splayed across some 50 volcanic cones that taper into a skinny neck of land flanked by two had taken place since our first visit more than 30 years ago. At that time, Auckland was large harbours, Auckland is defined by its volcanic bumps and watery indentations. The dormant partway through a major facelift that had many residents and onlookers scratching volcanoes have been turned into city parks like Eden Hill, One Tree Hill, and the Auckland Domain.
