Will she get more quarantine when she lands back in Australia ?
I have had clients in a similar situation and a large pay out calculated ; MSD payments were deducted before the final payment to client. One client even received a large extra payment of interest on the pay out. It seems there is no consistency in their ...
Diets with an over abundance of rice / pasta / bread may be cost effective but don't benefit people with pre-diabetes and weight issues.
I have worked with families experiencing financial difficulties for the last 30 years. Families that had wages / ACC or WINZ income / sometimes no income. Every family has a different complex story to tell. Priorities around where their money went ranged ...
Where exactly on Dominion Road is the new light rail going to be running? I see pretty drawings that show the trains travelling down the middle of the road. If this is the case then how do travellers get off the train and over to the footpaths ? Especially...
Who said WINZ do a decent service for the elderly ? I advocated very recently for NZ Super clients ; waited for nearly an hour only to be told that a return call would be made in the next 24 hours. And when pressed for a more exact time we were told " What...
Can Trump pardon himself in the next 3 months ?
Hi Treetop - can you post the Sharon Murdoch cartoon ?
Here in Auckland you now cannot travel using cash ; produce the AT Hop Card or walk. When travel was free during lockdown if you did not have an AT Hop Card then no bus or train travel. However some train managers and bus drivers took pity on the customers...
I heard on the ZB news earlier tonight that 24,000 happy healthy animals were ready to be shipped overseas. I thought these shipments were a thing of the past until I recently saw the news about the sinking of the ship containing thousands of cows.
Fairly sure he is in ACT territory ? During lockdown Hoskings was praising MP David Seymour because of his assistance getting his daughter back to Australia to continue studies.
Comments from friends and colleagues about NZ First - not happy that Winston started electioneering by continual negative comments about Labour. Supposedly his coalition partner for the last three years. By the time he realised these negative comments were...
ScottGN - I've been uneasy for some time watching March use AAAP as a blunt weapon against WINZ this last year. AAAP used to provide great advocacy for clients but over recent months it has become a political vehicle for March. He will lose the Greens ...
Another debate ; another host who thinks it is more about him. Paddy could at least let the person being asked a question answer it. Judith Wong Tung has found christianity but will wipe the gun laws. Happy to work with David Seymour who is a man of ...
My parents were the first tenants in a state house built in Mt Roskill (Auckland) in1947 on a quarter acre section. We never had condensation but we did have an open fireplace which was well used in winter. All the houses in the street are still standing, ...
John Campbell reminds me of Uriah Heep ; great at wringing his hands and wanting to be everybody's friend.
Miss Collins doesn't care about water quality or healthy houses. Wants to pull down all the old HNZ houses. No CGT for her - especially on her second house currently in a trust. Great that people on low incomes of $60K plus annually will reap the benefits ...
Grey - maybe it is a macho male leader thing ? John Key was fascinated by long hair (especially pony tails) on females of all ages.
Kay - just answering the 0800 WINZ number in less than 25 minutes would be a great start. And then after promising to ring the caller back and it never happens - usually after a request for an SNG.
Queues in private clinics too ; currently 2 month delay for cataract surgery in Auckland.
Sabine - agree with your comment about using cash. However the banks are hell bent on having cheques no longer accepted as legal tender by June 2021 ; many shops / all public transport here in Auckland don't accept cash. Countdown grudgingly open a ...
We had to look at Mike Hosking on the back of the odd bus here in Auckland. No fun stuck in traffic behind that sight for long periods of time.
Fairly sure that Thornley is one of the people that the National Party is relying on for expert help IF they get elected next month. I was appalled at his comments this morning - "Covid no worse than 'flu which kills elderly people every year".
Agree Chris T. Finally Winston showed himself up in his true colours. Well done, Jack Tame for keeping the questions flowing even when there were no coherent answers. The next guest Simon Thornley was equally frightening. Worrying to hear he thinks COVID ...
If she can't even manage her husband she won't be much use as PM. Don't their billboards state "strong leadership" ?
And that's why all the residents of West and South Auckland have been advised to line up for a COVID test. If we all presented at a testing site right now there would be insufficient testers / swabs etc. We are talking big numbers.

Agree, Bearded Git. And if the Left continues down this track then in 12 months time we'll all be ranting away on The Standard because of the policies of the new National Party Government.
Fairly certain that Catholic Schools still charge families. Not nearly as eye-watering high as the State Schools in the grammar zone in Auckland though.
Can remember similar Green sweat shirts on sale down at the Vic and Cook Street Markets in the good old days. Local people working hard all week manufacturing the shirts and they'd all be gone over the weekend. Very flexible market in those days ; demand ...
I heard the interview and thought it was downright bullying. MH spoke over Jacinda and didn't let her finish sentences. It was a very disturbing and accusatory interview. Then later in the week speaking to Grant Robertson there were no challenges at all ; ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
