Sadly, we have some of the worst parents on the planet in this country.
And it's killing all of us in one form or another.

Petrol taxes
Petrol price increases will also increase the GST that the Government gets.
Therefore Tauranga Mayor Greg Brownless and the Mayor of Auckland, Phil Goff, should not have to add a regional petrol increase as well to pay for infrastructure.
The Government should help pay for it.

An issue of pronunciation
While watching the TV3 news on June 9 I heard Tariana Turia talking about her love for the Whanganui river; I noticed she pronounced it as Wanganui with the h being silent.
As I am from Taranaki, not Turanuki as some would say, I was always taught the people of the West Coast North Island do not, and never have pronounced WH as F. if this is so, why do the so-called expert te reo teachers tell us differently.
