I like it

The Hastings District Council after many attempts have decided they are the heart of Hawkes Bay.

Do they have a heart? The way they have treated ratepayers this year you would not think so. They have saddled future ratepayers with huge debt that our kids will be burdened with.

They are too scared to admit we derive so much economic benefit from our primary producers and that fruit is still a huge part of Hastings.

The Fruitbowl of New Zealand remains the best name for Hastings and that is that.

We have yet another National Minister making a PC decision.Not wishing to front up to the hard decisions Maurice veteran Williamson, finds the easy way out over the Wanganui decision and plugs for either or.

Not prepared to stand up for the facts of the issue, Maori was not a written language at the time and it was written as spoken. Wanganui.

I suppose that was better than wankanui and it has after all stood the test of time.

We like it as it is.

The decision to fly the Maori flag on the Harbour Bridge on Waitangi day , helps cement in the division that the current political climate has created.

National claims they are establishing good relations with the Maori Party but in fact, what they are doing is slowly building a major wall in the country that is separating genuine kiwis with race based policies that are spreading despair and grief among the majority.

National has increased fines for people breaching our biosecurity regulations. This is ‘getting serious’ about securing our borders.

Rotorua has just become international with the opening of an air service to Sydney twice a week. The Government is not being tough enough on biosecurity in Rotorua as some primary producers have offered to supply a beagle for work at the airport.

Producers have been asked to fund biosecurity.This is appalling.It is not the producers who are responsible for breaches but the idiots that try anything to get a meal or a paw paw into this country.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out this government.
