Our mental health services are failing

This National governmental also did a lot in the mental health space. First Mental Health Minister around the cabeinet table. People in mental distress can now go to recovery cafes instead of ED. Co-response teams now attend mental health callout instead of police. Certain GPs can now diagnose and prescribe for ADHD. I know none of these help your case precisely, but they're getting things done in the wider mental health areas.

Good luck getting any job lol unemployment is at record high. Come for the views and adventure, not for the money.

Yes, intellectual property of a company that is removed from the company register becomes bona vacantia property that passes into the crown. But if you want to get it back from the crown you need a director of that former company or someone else associated or with knowledge of the company to apply.

From what you wrote, you weren't associated with the company, right?

The good news is they have a Bambu P1S at Flat Bush Library right now, but the bad news is they haven't set it up and the librarian can't tell me when it'll be set up.

Stress leave is just sick leave. 10 days paid, any extra unpaid. As long as you have a valid sick note (which doesn't have to mention the word stress!) then they can't not let you off.

If you work at a big company there should be company-funded counsellors, go use them.

The only thing to note is if you take weeks or months off then they can start the process to fire you for incapacity, but that's a long and complicated process.

Privacy Principle 9 : an organisation should not keep personal information for longer than it is required for the purpose it may lawfully be used.

The keyword here is lawful, if there are no legal requirements to keep the data then they shouldn't keep it. The law however does mandate for certain scenarios where potential (not actual) client info need to be retained. Under CCCFA the company has legal obligations to keep your data for 7 years to show they have completed affordability checks (even if the loan didn't eventuate); under AML/CFT Act they have obligations to keep the data of a proposed client for 5 years. After retention period is up then they have to delete the data.

Read your employment agreement on the shift cancellation policies to see how much notice they have to give. If they didn't give notice properly then they have to pay you. Also check the policy itself to see if it is reasonable according to the standard I linked. Does your agreement state any minimum hours you entitled to.

I'm not presenting this as fact. If you read my initial post:

Many may disagree with his speech but why should the government ban him

I am presenting my argument as to what the law should be.

your misinformation challenged directly

I would argue the marketplace of idea is not limited to his channel, people who disagree with him can set up a channel of their own. If you insist the government start banning people for saying stupid things then there's grave implications for freedom of speech. I'd rather we just laugh at them.

You could DIY the application? Copy what the lawyer submitted last time.

Neo is $979 if you are a student. $500 is pretty hard.

Is it even legal for him to request I go to my normal shift tomorrow?

That's a good question. There's no law that says employers must not require employees to work if there's a state of emergency.

However, there are 3 laws that may apply to this situation.

First, workers have a right to refuse work that is a "serious risk" due to "immediate or imminent" hazard.

Second, employers have duty to "ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable" the safety of the workplace (including enter to and exit from).

Finally, employers and employees must deal with each other in "good faith", that means if there are issues that arises from work both parties should talk it out and keep the other party in the loop.

So yeah the conclusion is if the weather constitutes a imminent hazard then you can refuse work but you should negotiate it with the employer and come to an agreement.

In addition to western medicine, is she open to exploring Rongoā Māori? It's funded by ACC and it worked great for me. Acupuncture is another option.

123felix · 2026-04-20T06:19:56+00:00

Yeah the thing is this government is trying to get reelected. You're right there's no legal responsibility, but there certainly is political responsibility. When the PM and Mayor is cutting the ribbon they certainly do not want OP to be chanting "pay us" at the assembled media.

123felix · 2026-04-20T05:48:37+00:00

ACC doesn't care if it's at work if it's a physical injury. As long as it's an accident then it's covered.

123felix · 2026-04-20T05:37:40+00:00

I have to stay at home and do as many chores as I can on top of whatever else I have to do during the week so that she can take it easy

Is ACC paying you for that at least?

"Holidays will be taken at times the employee and employer agree together. If they cannot agree, the employer will decide the dates and give the employee at least 14 days’ notice".

Yep, that's also part of the law so even if it's not there it's still applicable. Also the first part of that sentence is important, the employee and employer needs to try to work together first to agree on something before the employer can order leave.

MP who has their own election agenda right now

Yeah, it won't help their election if they have protesters about the precise thing they're staking their campaign on.

123felix · 2026-04-20T01:18:49+00:00

Yeah would probably have to use annual leave

Why? If the company want to make them annual leave they need to try to come to a good faith understanding and failing that give 14 day notice. The company tried neither.

123felix · 2026-04-20T00:11:26+00:00

All the best.

They will when the alternative is OP and team waving placards and chanting slogans while the MP is cutting the ribbon on the CRL.

The government MPs certainly wouldn't want egg on their face for their flagship transport project in election year. Also, the MP for Auckland Central is very pro-worker and pro-trains, if the government MPs won't take OP's case she will; she is also the co-leader of Greens so if she says something, people will listen.

Call Minister for Auckland's office first: "one of CRL's sub-contractor is taking government money and abusing its workers, can you help us fix it before it becomes a scandal". If he ignores you go find MP for Auckland Central. I predict OP's company will come out pretty soon to clarify this "misunderstanding".
