rubbish pick ups...pifft never happened rural...mains water you say....pifft....still pay for it though....do you want me to carrie on??

rating on land value...fair??? hmmm....how about they rate on income like income tax 99.9% of farmers and rural dwellers would love that!!!

the rates payed by the owners of the farm I'm sharemilking on is $11,067 for 480ha...which 92ha is in a long term leased DOC controled wetlands [and don't get me started on those useless fucks] and we still pay big rates for that portion of the farm

That's what happens when they get all uppity and think they are Hutt City instead of the official name of Lower Hutt, someone has to pay for the appearances.

There was a stripped shell at the end of thr driveway on blocks. Rang up, "We'll be right round. That will be $500."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - F__k Off!"

GOt the lads round, borrowed the flat deck Toyota from the In-Laws - and then paid $50 to drop it in the landfill - Geez!

Capital value rating is archaic. Local body charges should be levied on services provided to residents, and not just to property owners. And there should be some accountability for cost increases. Local body rate hikes are a significant contributor to inflation, and councillors should be made to explain their "costs plus" mentality.

Now over in the lovely Porirua, Finn would like this, last year they must have changed the rating formulas, because the rates on higher value houses went down while those on cheaper houses went up. Make the peasants pay seemed to be the theme.
