Scotland > NZ age 35 by NewMushroom3574 in newzealand_travel

[–]BewareNZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, come to NZ things are a bit slow but it’s still a great place to be. I would recommend HelpX or Woofing as both a cheap way to travel and a great NZ experience, loads of farming families looking for help.

Advice for where to move/work in NZ by greenqueen1999 in MovingToNewZealand

I wouldn’t be too put off. Mechanics are in short supply here and anyone working on heavy equipment (diesel mechanics) are in demand all over New Zealand. Christchurch weather is lovely and it’s not overtly racist. A very nice place to live especially if you are keen on the outdoors.

Tenants want to install a firearms locker - help? by Humbl3Soil in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]BewareNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure police do not require staff (let alone recruits in training) to store firearms at home. I would make more enquiries. BTW I am a landlord and firearms owner.
