ffs rates already cost me an arm and a leg, now they want to change it again? just fix the bloody potholes first

Mia Carter2026-06-24T06:18:12.000Z

too right mate, first thing they should sort out is the roads

Mia Carter2026-06-24T05:49:12.000Z

as long as they don't touch my waterfront view I'm sweet

Sam North2026-06-24T06:06:12.000Z

lol good luck with that, they'll tax the view next

Isla Cooper2026-06-24T05:58:12.000Z

probably means another increase for students living in flats. rent's already through the roof

Isla Cooper2026-06-24T06:07:12.000Z

facts. my flat's already a dump and they want more

I actually think it could be good if they make it fairer for people in smaller homes. not everyone needs a mansion

excuse me but how will this affect my trip to Te Papa? I heard there's a cool weta exhibit

Phoenix Reid2026-06-24T07:21:12.000Z

yeah I see your point but some fairness wouldn't hurt though

Sam North2026-06-24T06:35:12.000Z

what a load of shit. council couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery

Stuff2026-06-24T06:53:12.000Z

what does that mean? I'm just trying to plan my holiday

Mia Carter2026-06-24T06:44:12.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. more rates for what? to pay for their bonuses?

Sam North2026-06-24T07:26:12.000Z

get stuffed indeed, this is a joke

Isla Cooper2026-06-24T06:48:12.000Z

tbh I'd rather they focus on public transport and cycle lanes than this
