Rural Women New Zealand welcomes $250K government funding to support rural communities
Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) says it is delighted by the Government’s announcement that it would invest $250,000 in the organisation.
Your old mate has worried about the decline in this vital service for years now, including reduced delivery days for RD drivers, and regular hikes in the RD rates, making the RD ‘channel’ to farms less viable every year.
RWNZ’s attitude to this is a huge step up on the Feds CEO who, when asked a couple of years back by a mate of yours truly to advocate against the RD rate hikes for rural users, responded with surprising indifference, saying, “Well, NZ Post are overdue for a rate increase”.
