Have Your Say – Polls
We understand clearly that the only reason for our existence is to represent the voice of the people in our parliament. We believe that any party that is not constantly in touch with the views of the people is simply not doing its job. In this space you can read what others think on key issues, and you can let us know your views.Do you think ratepayers should pay for the seismic strengthening of privately-owned commercial buildings?

Ratepayer should not bear the burden of private landlords.

This will encourage business tenants to seek safe premises which in turn will make the building owners upgrade as commercially viable.
