Bay of Plenty Times I previously advocated for the minimum wage to be increased but received a rebuff from some politicians that such an increase would have too big an impact on the costs to businesses and would lead to higher unemployment.
But a high number of beneficiaries rely on the Government to supplement their income so they can make ends meet.
Mostly they want to work and earn a living wage.

QR codes are fine for those people who can handle modern cellphones. I was happy signing in at Rotorua public library yesterday where they provide a slip of paper to record your details and then post into a small box.
I decline to sign in at those many places where one s name and address is left for all to see.
Letters to the editor: Car registrations lacking in New Zealand

Bay of Plenty Times
I wonder why the people of New Zealand continue to pay their car registrations when it seems that so many don t find it necessary. My wife and I do a tremendous amount of walking around various parts of the city, and everywhere we go we see cars that are unregistered, some since 2017, or even no sticker showing.
If others were to have an accident with these vehicles, who would be responsible for any damage? If they are not registered, then they can t have a current warrant and probably no kind of insurance.
