Some regional leaders are urging the Government to open more businesses saying smaller towns and cities are desperate to boost their local economies.

Speaking to TVNZ1’s Breakfast, Tauranga mayor Tenby Powell says select businesses could reopen under the same restrictions essential services are operating under during lockdown.

“I think there is opportunity to open up as part of safe and discipline management our small to medium enterprises which is critical to New Zealand – it’s the backbone of our economy,” he says.

He says it’s really important the small business economy is able to get back up and running without a risk of breaching rules.

Happy Birthday!
I suspect we will all share cake together in a chilly,remote Gulag once the ‘Hate Speech’ laws come into effect..

Special Anzac service planned to commemorate personnel despite COVID-19 ‘war’

However, in their place, the Stand At Dawn virtual service will be held on the morning of April 25, with Kiwis encouraged to walk to their gates and commemorate those who have served. Speeches from a string of speakers and a rendition of The Last Post will be broadcast at 6am on RNZ.

“They might stand there carrying a candle or a torch or a poppy. This is just a way we can continue to remember through this difficult time,” RSA President BJ Clark told The AM Show.

“You can imagine, rather than a morning dawn service, if you stand at your gate and you look down your street, left and right and across the road, if you see New Zealanders out there remembering those that have served, I think, short of an actual dawn service, it will be a wonderful thing.”

Congratulations Ed.

Thanks for creating a safe space for us all to share and complain. It’s a lifeline in a sea of insanity and groupthink.

Keep up the good work.Please.

Thank you – the first thing I look at each morning when I open my computer is YSB.

Bunnings is now accessible on-line for essential winter necessities such as heaters. Why aren’t all their products available? Surely hardware and such like you need is essential to the purchaser. I want to buy vegetable seedlings!

Shit time flies, who would have thought, we would be here today, lining up for the truck to the gulag!

Thanks YSB, I left KB a year ago and told them I’d not be back because of the poncey beta boy moderators they had dug up from who knows where and I haven’t been near that blog again.
The lefties dont seem to come to YSB because they cant stand a strong argument and facts, the facts are especially worrying to the loony left , to be fair though commenters like septicboy and his ilk do add a bit of humour to the proceedings..

Look at all that time we have spent here.
Could have been fishing, or for the Maggies of this world, gardening.
Instead we come here to talk to???
Well not sure who I’m talking too.

But thanks Ed.
Once this Col goes we might get some l;life back. 😆

Winston Peters: Border restrictions could be relaxed for ‘trans-Tasman bubble’ during pandemic

Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters has hinted at a potential “trans-Tasman bubble” of relaxed border restrictions between New Zealand and Australia if both nations can progress in their response to the coronavirus pandemic.

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/winston-peters-border-restrictions-could-relaxed-trans-tasman-bubble-during-pandemic

“Until we see, I believe, a worldwide vaccine that is working, our borders are going to be much more closely guarded and much more closely inspected than ever before,” Mr Peters said.

However, that tight border security could be relaxed for a few nations in the Pacific if figures for the coronavirus around the region continue to go down.

Mr Peters says there’s already discussions in place with our trans-Tasman neighbours for such an engagement.

Well done Ed. The patience is paying off !!

Quite a milestone Ed.

Thanks for providing the sandpit.

Happy birthday. My favourite NZ site.

お誕生日おめでとうございます！！！

Happy birthday, the first of many.

What did you get yourself?

I’ve got a cabinet full of booze and Mrs Holy is baking a cake. If you buggers cannot be bothered to come and help us celebrate this important milestone, then that’s your loss.😜💋

I’m here Ed. Been busy earning a crust.

Well done with YSB 😊

Uriah Heep
‘Angels Walk with You’

I only know what I’m feeling
Do you know it’s true
’cause I’ve searched for you
’cause I believe in you

Why do we walk in shadows
While this world falls apart
’cause I’d die for you
’cause I know angels walk with you

In my hands I hold nothing
The more I have the less I use
If I’d gone down that road forever
I would not have found you

And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
’cause angels walk with you

If we sit and do nothing
Will the light surely fade?
Can I trust in you forever?
If you show me the way

A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
’cause angels walk with you
Yeah, walk with you, with you
Yeah, walk with you
’cause I’d die for you
’cause I know angels walk with you

Well done, Ed.
A great platform.
I don’t know If I’d die for you… but you get the gist.

Love your work, Ed. Thanks for having us at your place.

As a new commenter but one who has lurked and viewed for some time just would like to say thanks and MANY HAPPY RETURNS.

Thanks Mr ED.
Can’t believe a year has gone by.
Has been great to see more migrate here from that other place.

Happy birthday!

This is a **great** blog!
Long may it continue, and **many thanks** for your great work with it, Ed!
