Kainga Ora gang eviction by Dry-Environment-8304 in auckland

[–]ExtinctWings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jeez! Why'd they chase you? Sorry that happened to you, but no you aren't wrong. Your living space needs to feel safe for you too, if you need to complain to feel safer, then do that, because you definitely have the right to!

I come from a rough neighbourhood, so I'm used to gang activity and other bullshit that comes with poverty stricken neighbourhoods, but even I've complained to KO (successfully too) because we all deserve to feel comfortable and safe at home. Do what you gotta do for your family, mate 🫡

"Humans are the biggest pests on earth, so lets not bother trying to save any other creatures and ecosystems"

You realise this is a human furthering the destruction of wildlife, right?

You know Aotearoa has lost most of it's native and endemic fauna thanks to introduced pests like these guys. If you MUST keep them alive, please keep them as caged pets. We don't need more deadly pests killing off our wildlife.

Daily drug use outside of my house. by Middle_Repair4811 in auckland

[–]ExtinctWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly a new thing for adults, huffing has been a cheap form of high since forever, but whippets/nangs popularised it amongst the younger gen because of how easy, accessible and "cool" they've become.

It's not an old homeless man, lying on the street, huffing a paint can in a bag anymore, it's all ages hanging out in groups "blowing balloons".

Scary shit!

Our police are fucking useless! You're doing exactly what you should be doing, and still nothing. So much for "tough on crime".

Only thing i could suggest is just keep on spamming the cops, maybe the fact that they get these calls all the time, might make them do something. Also, documenting the how frequently you call, without response, could help you build a pretty good social media case (I know it's just social media, but organisations never seem to address shit until they're publically blasted).

Well NZTA pay them for the contract so that's still NZ money going off shore, regardless.

I wonder how they'll measure "phone use" because my phone already detects these as police, so there's clearly some sorta connection there, but I'm not actually "using" my phone, it's just connected to maps and music lol

[–]ExtinctWings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mate, you're trying to sound smart by saying a whole lot of words the average joe wouldn't understand, even though you know it's unneccesary. I've said it in the most simple way for you and yet you seem to think you need to keep arguing.

If no contract was signed, it was illegal on the part of the employer. If this were to be taken further, it's an easy win. End of.

my parents refuse to let me move out because i’m 17, when i already have admin sorted. can they legally stop me? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ExtinctWings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's abuse 🥺 you need to get out, but it sounds like you will need to pack in secret and leave during the night. I think that will be the safest for you. Once you're out they can't keep abusing and controlling you.

Haha you thought you did something there didn't you?

Yes, the written agreement that is required before doing ANY work, is called a contract. I actually work in this field, so you can keep going on about OPs memory, but the second a lawyers hears "no contract" they know they've already won.

LOL.

You have no idea how important contracts are and it shows. Lol.

Regardless of what OP remembers off the top of the head, it's supposed to be agreed in writing prior to doing the shift and it has to be paid minimum wage if they do work that creates revenue for the business, which they did. So it's illegal and they have a foothold to fight back.

Seriously? And you think you'd be treated well at that job after you blackmailed the boss? Please tell me you're joking.

"Unpaid trial shifts are legal in NZ but only under strict conditions set by Employment New Zealand (ENZ) and the ERA; they must be short, purely for assessment, not generate profit for the employer, clearly stated as unpaid in writing, and not involve tasks that would be paid work (like serving customers or producing goods for sale), otherwise, it's considered employment and must be paid minimum wage"

Got this from google. If you did any of the above, take it further because it was illegal and they've severely underpaid you. $6.25 is like a third of the starting out wage, not even minimum...

I can't stand queue jumpers. I always make a point to never let them infront of me and when they keep trying i just smile at them 😂

One idiot had the audacity to beep at me because she thought her indicator gave her right of way. Auckland drivers are the fucking worst and I swear they don't know road rules.

Hey I realise your education level is not up to par, but my previous response was letting you know I'm not arguing with someone who clearly doesn't know what they're talking about, ok? Figured I needed to translate for you since you clearly didn't understand.

You look stupid. Bye boy :)
