So he thinks Chlöe is dangerous cos he couldn’t pay her to do what he wanted and he doesn’t want to pay tax. Have I got that right?

Also once you get past that South Rd intersection, biking past Market Reserve is also a nightmare. I had to stop several times as cars and buses gave me no room to get past the parked cars
Path along the Oval isn’t def a better option

I bike to work along King Edward and originally was going that way as crossing to the shared cycle/pedestrian path so close to the bend at the Kensington seemed risky. I hated that intersection! Fraught every time. Crossing to the path now although exiting at top of the Oval isn’t fun either

Absolutely! It should’ve been seen as a deterrent for ACC delaying decisions and framed as such. Claimants are at the whim of ACC timeframes and now this

We had a false alarm evacuation a few years ago. Couldn’t think what I’d need at the time so left w v little. Also had neither the space nor resources for a pre packed grab bag 🙄
After that I wrote a list that I could look at if we had warning to evacuate again so I could grab them quickly

I’m not an Aucklander but I know this one!

Their charging system has errors.
Fix by calling the call centre on 09 366 4467, explain what happened, they should refund you the difference.

I’d been overcharged about $46 over 4 days, refund came thru the day after I called

Picture of entry way to seaside swimming pool and cafe with chalkboard saying cafe is closed

Picture of entry way to seaside swimming pool and cafe with chalkboard saying cafe is closed

It’s a public holiday in summer, weather is mild, many people milling around St Clair esplanade so of course the Long Dog cafe at the salt water pool is closed
I really hope the lease is expiring soon. Would be great to get tenants in that location who really want to make a go of it

Unfair! On the inside kiwi houses are all white, thats 3 colours.

Got some rooms painted last year, painter came round to quote & was equal parts shocked and happy it wasn’t gonna be white

Have you tried IPONZ? They have three songs in total, all of them obscure and dire. Coupled with the most helpful staff once you eventually get thru

Nearly 40% of voters think Treaty of Waitangi has too much influence on government decisions - poll Voters also had their say on whether the Prime Minister should be in Waitangi for Waitangi Day commemorations, in the latest RNZ-Reid Research poll.

I guess they forgot to poll the hundreds of thousands of us who marched in support of Te Tiriti last year

Yep. Although that particular BOT was v much led by the principal.
As you (or someone else) suggested above BOTs often seem disconnected from a lot of the issues Eg cost of living their school communities are facing and that one was a good example unfortunately

My son started at a decile 3 school. Originally kids could either wear the branded option or a plain one in same colour (navy bottoms, yellow polo) which we could buy from Warehouse/Kmart nice and cheap. Then they changed it and kids HAD to wear the new one. Had a one year transition I think. Shitty

So many kiwis and their whānau impacted by the lack of support, strategy and funding for anything related to ADHD. What little there is is almost impossible to access because access requires exactly the sort of executive function and attention to boring details that ADHDers struggle with

That link didn’t work for me but by using “ADHD petition NZ” as a search term it was the first result

AT call centre were super helpful and my refund was paid the next day

I think if you use the AT app you can request the refund that way but I’m not in Tāmaki Makaurau often so I just called

Using using contactless payments on Auckland buses? Check your charges every day!

There are known issues w some routes that aren’t recognised as continued journeys so u get charged max for journey + daily cap doesn’t apply

Over 4 days I was overcharged $43.50 😳

Don't copy paste an Imperial response like other world "leaders" who are abandoning their independent foreign policy to cuddle up to Trump. Have some moral courage Luxon!

GPs worried by lack of information on ManageMyHealth data breach The country's largest patient information portal on Wednesday confirmed it had identified a cyber security incident involving "unauthorised access" to its platform.

As at 10:30 this morning, this story is visible on RNZ if you scroll past NY celebrations, Japanese women MPs toilets and Queen Camilla, syndicated on Stuff (again reqs scrolling), nothing at all on NZ Herald.
I get thats it’s the holidays but this is fucking important NZ media.
