NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2026 JONESIE WASTE AWARDS

ECAN

Who pays your Life or Income insurance?


You do – but not if your an employee of ECAN

A regional Council, now called E-SCAM.

Many poor hard up Wage & Salary earners

who get the usual 3% increase in their Wages & Salaries

yet are expected to magically find an extra 17.9%

to pay their ECAN rates…Where from?

Of course that is because E-SCAM employees get endless perks at hardworking ratepayers ‘who all pay their own insurances’

expense.


The sooner we are rid of the huge expense of Regional councils the better for us all.


Dave Stanton

Geraldine

The person or institution responsible for the $2bn p.a.waste arising from the increase in the number of Government employees reported on in Roger Partridge’s recent report. There has been no discernible value from this bloat.

Jacinda Ardern

For not facing the public in the royal commission of inquiry into covid-19.

Corruption in politics in action. What a waste of time, money and effort. An absolute disgrace and incredibly irresponsible. Cover ups and cop outs like is unacceptable anywhere else in the universe. Thank goodness for the unlimited resources of the Tax Payers.

People trusted Jacinda as she warned the nation about the pandemic of the unvaccinated who then took part in an international experiment using a brand new generation novel Gene Technology. Patented technology of cause.

Good doctors were struck off for practicing good medical principles and many patience suffered as a result.

Many people have now lost faith in medicine and politics and now understand how delegate the economy is, the cost has been astronomical.

Thank goodness for the unlimited resources of the Tax Payers.

Finance minister Nicola Willis for stuffing up the interisland ferry upgrade.

Waimakariri district council and Mayor For accepting a 9+% wage rise greedy buggers.

1 million for northland marae,no receipts or explanation required,for that ammout, of food used in 5 days!!! Is Grant Robertson still in the shadows???

MBIE’s National Science Challenges revealed that $4 million of taxpayer money was spent playing music to kauri trees to “heal” them from kauri dieback.

Western Bay Of Plenty Council Councillors for awarding themselves a 15% pay increase. We cannot afford it without more rates rises and besides what exactly have they done to earn it!

Leader of Te Pati Maori for private expenses of nearly $200,000 unaccounted for on the Taxpaying public of New Zealand

Rawiri Waititi for doing nothing useful but still managing to be the highest spender on travel

NZTA – on the western side of Burkes Pass, just past Dog Kennel corner a parking area/photo area has been built on the western side of the highway to Lake Tekapo. This is a great open space to enjoy the fantastic open spaces of the McKenzie Country with the Southern Alps in the background

A truly brilliant introduction for anyone, but especially tourists, to enjoy and soak up the huge vista


BUT……..


The parking area is dominated by a huge edifice ( Maori?) that ruins the natural expanse of flat plains and Southern Alps

Mans unnecessary intrusion into natures citidal

The govt dept who paid millions for playing whale sounds into forest trees to cure kauri dieback.

The organisation who are developing the cycle trail along the Kawarau Gorge in Otago. Not only is this very expensive, but it is using NZ revenue to encourage more foreign tourists to a region already overrun by tourists with an infrastructure that is unable to cope with the volume. The construction of this treacherous cycleway is dangerous for the workers, extremely expensive use of NZ money and will fail on repeated occasions given the tendency of the gorge to develop major landslides after rain, or earthquakes. This will require ongoing funding into the future to repair the damages resulting from the persistent landslides. Also the volume of cyclists currently using the Dunstan trail from Cromwell to Clyde does not warrant such outrageous spending. There is also the matter of risk with regards to cyclists falling and either injuring themselves or dying from a fall into the Kawarau river.

whale music recorded to play to Kauri for kauri dieback

Hamilton City Council for wasting taxpayers’ money on re- landscaping CBD riverbank parks and historical gardens with concrete.
