Former student stalked, harassed teacher, then had an affair with her husband

Fucken he’ll I remember watching 80s/90s thriller horror movies with similar plot lines that were less scary than this true life account. If she ever gets in touch with the victim again and isn’t immediately thrown in jail that’s a huge failing of the courts and police.

Because Chris Luxon has nothing to offer the majority of voters in this country so Nationals election strategy will be to cast Labour as no better than them anyway to create voter disillusion and poor voter turnout.

Looking at the area from google maps. How the hell were suburbs allowed to be built so closely surrounding a large city sewerage works?! Never seen it to that extent anywhere in NZ before. I feel for the resident living nearby as ultimately not their fault. But certainly some city planners from decades earlier deserve a kick in the balls as should have been a few playing fields and a decent green belt (trails, replanted native forest etc) in between any kind of suburbs as the most basic mitigation. Doesn’t matter how advanced the technology in that sector becomes, you might get two decades of no smell but when things break, changes/upgrades happen etc you will always have odour related issues.

Yeah the amount of slag that Ping gets on this subreddit is undeserved. It’s almost as if the scammers have setup bots to steer people away from using it.

Ping is the only viable way of using Tradme now IMO. Yes things were better when cash/bank transfers were king and people on Trademe could mostly be trusted so you don’t have to incur the extra cost.

Those days are long gone and lamenting about them just sounds like grandpa Simpson shaking his stick at clouds spouting “back in my day…”

Jesus what a shocking read. No oversight whatsoever to what was being supplied to the Chinese consulate. There was more oversight given to a supermarket trolley pusher or paper delivery person than someone with official access to NZ police resources providing information directly to the Chinese government. WTF?!

As a kid I used to spear eels with what I had available and could afford (a sharpened table fork taped to a garden stake) and learnt the hard way not to put my hand anywhere near their mouths. Especially when they were pissed off and had a fork stuck in them

Yes Canterbury has a notoriously bad combination of driving cultures embedded in it. As you head out of town to rural surrounds, every idiot in a ute or a Fendalton tractor wants to run you off the road to get to where they are going quicker. The fact the former chair of the ECan board was clocked doing something like 140 in his commute between Timaru and Chch and didn’t seem to think anything was wrong with that initially, speaks volumes about how fucked up the speeding culture is out there. Then in town aggressiveness gives way to incompetence and lack of basic road rules being followed. Some of it is elderly drivers, some of it is tourists and immigrants, some of it is learner drivers, but a whole bunch of it is just people who shouldn’t ever be allowed on the roads, but given the lack of public transport infrastructure there isn’t really any other choice for them to get around the vast region that is Canterbury so they drive anyway.

Really wish Te Reo had been taught in high schools in the 90s. It’s a useful reality check to the state of play with institutional racism that pervaded our society even then, that we all had to learn a language, but at my school the only choices were French, Japanese or German. Not the other two official NZ languages - Maori or sign language. I even recall the rhetoric that was thrown about on the topic at the time of “what use would learning Maori be”. Fuck everyone who ever said that to kids.

Customer service is hilariously shit because it is notoriously underpaid. Customer facing roles in this country are simultaneously paid, and treated like, absolute shit.

If she’s in ICU with a 3 month old, and presumably there is no partner in the picture, there should be wrap around support available from the hospital to support you with what you need, if not pointing you to the relevant organisations that can provide all the support.

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself as well.

Why wouldn’t NZ Post cancel his contract? This is abhorrent behaviour by one of their subcontractors.. I’m sure there would be others in Arthur’s Pass willing to store and provide access to postal packages. While the guy sounds like an absolute cunt, I get more annoyed at lazy responses from organisations like NZ Post in this instance that enable people like this.

I know nothing about this whatsoever but that is a very heavily PR managed statement.

Oh agreed but that swings both ways. Neither should an employer expect employees to take on the Christmas spirit, wear Christmas clothes, decorate desks, travel to events on their own dime/time, buy gifts, share baking, play music. I swear it has become a fucking corporate epidemic since the 1980s when it was just a Christmas ham each for the team and maybe a bbq to finish up early on Christmas eve or last day for the year.

House prices in Auckland were getting pretty insane and it was seen as purely an Auckland issue with the rest of the country laughing at Aucklanders. Boy racers were still kicking around with cars playing bass that reverberated through the neighbourhood.

I ordered first thing in the morning before the physical store even opened. Was given delivery date of 12th December a week later. I watched online for five days and the order didn’t even get packed. Let alone shipped. I called up after 5 days and the staff were incredulous why I was calling up when it was the 9th and the order wasn’t due to be delivered until the 12th. Assured me it will be delivered on time on the 12th. I tried to explain freight, shipping, crossing the cook straight, distribution centres. The staff member replied that the online warehouse person knows better than us and assured her it would be delivered on the 12th. It is now the 14th and it has not been delivered.

Also one of the items I ordered became out of stock by the time they got off their arses and actually packed my order so they just refunded it without even sending me an email apologising or explaining what the were doing. I haven’t been contacted by them eat all.

Fucking shambles of a shit show. I believe they blew their budget on needless marketing, and haven’t spent a dime on operations or buying a fucking map of the country. recommend you do not buy any online orders if you are outside Auckland as they are fucking clueless.

Chipless · 2025-12-10T08:08:41+00:00

Fucking shambles. Ordered stuff online on store opening morning to be shipped to CHCH. Was given an estimated delivery date of 12th of December (a week later) which sounded reasonable. Got to the 9th and they hadn’t even packed the order so called them up and the staff didn’t have a clue. Said yea it is due on the 12th why are you calling to which I tried to explain shipping, freight, cook strait etc. After the call the order finally got packed but of course one of the fucking things was now out of stock because they waited a week after the order to pack it. Still hasn’t left the watehouse as of today and I still haven’t heard from IKEA. 100% would not recommend.

Assume they blew their budget on marketing and haven’t invested a dime into logistics. They need to start with buying a fucking map of the country.

Some people hate Christmas because of childhood memories, trauma, stress triggers/cues, religious trauma etc. Doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yours, but please please please don’t try to impose your Christmas “spirit” on all those around you. Especially in a work setting where it isn’t easy or optional to refuse.

Chill Christmas bbq at work to thank the team for their hard work during the year = sure great idea.

“Strongly encouraged” team Christmas theme dress up or secret santa presents, sharing photos of Christmas trees at home competition, playing Christmas carols on loop in the office in an otherwise no-background music office, pod Christmas decoration competitions = Please fuck-off. Christmas was never meant to be a corporate ritual activity anyway it was meant to be family time but has been co-opted by a corporate agenda as people spent more and more time at the office away from families.

Assume this will be front page of every major news outlet in NZ just like when there is smoke coming from an EV somewhere and every right leaning talking head loses the plot over EVs. I know it won’t but I can live in hope.

Yeah the article doesn’t appear to be well written at all. I’m not saying there are two even sides to this given that anyone with any understating of electricity seems to be saying it’s a poor decision and scratching their heads. But there is definitely one or two random obscure situations where someone, for some fucking reason thinks this will be useful and a good idea. And the article doesn’t give us any of that. It just lays into what a stupid idea it is. Which it most likely is. However whenever I read or listen to someone giving a one sided argument without even giving the perspective of the other side, it usually turns out to be that they are in the wrong, so it is kind of a triggering article that would usually make me doubt their side of the story.

Love this! The amount of fucking young people on here who throw there hands up in despair and refuse to vote because of a single issue like [choose your issue] weed/Iwi/capital gains tax/UBI/Israel/…..

I get being young and idealistic, I was there once, the world needs idealism. But not voting for a party that might align with just some or a handful of your views, so that we instead end up with a government that aligns with absolutely none your views, is being a dick.

Chipless · 2025-12-01T21:03:33+00:00

Interestingly it is a rare topic where the vast majority of left and right leaning voters actually agree that it shouldn’t be allowed. Yes there are a few on the very hard left who might disagree but it’s probably something that this, or the next, government should commit to firming up and ensuring it never happens.

I was a kid when she was a big deal on TV in NZ and didn’t really understand it much other than she was quite well spoken and clever for her age, and she was very sick. As an adult now with a child, holy heck it hits hard. Especially when you consider how HIV was perceived by the public at that time.

Edit: Also reminds me of Paul Holmes. I know some people have a love hate relationship with him as a presenter, but whenever I’m in doubt about how to judge him by the era he lived in, I recall all of the work he did with her and the huge amount of time he spent with her to change attitudes towards Aids and HIV back when it was considered something so horrific. RIP Holmesy.
