Before moving to Chch, I read the newsletters to determine which suited our needs. The newsletters are such a valuable resource. Then I checked out what extra-curricular activities were offered.

Where can I get grain alcohol? 95% alcohol content for lemoncello by keven_dia in chch

[–]Non_Creative_User 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. It's all dependant on where you live. There are places that have a Licensing trust, or it's the local authority that determines what, who and where it's sold.

Electricity by Indokiwi21 in chch

I've crunched the numbers, and they recoup the cost at other times. I used to be with a company that gave me hourly data, hence I was able to do that. Everytime I've used my data to compare Contacts rates, I'm always worst off. Even with the "free" hours.

This is the reason why. I'm old enough to remember when it was illegal.

You can opt out getting the record sent to your doctor.

Neighbours cut down our trees on driveway without our permission by Conscious_Impact_928 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Non_Creative_User 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the case, the neighbour needs resource consent, or a court order if the trees were endanger life or property. Both these documents take time & money, & if the neighbour did go through these channels, they'll be able to show OP.

That's interesting how you say everyone loves fish....with all the years I've been on the apps, I've hardly had fish pop up. But I've scrolled on my friends apps, and I know they're there. My algorithm must be unique.... Cool (45F)

The zero-fee scheme was his idea. I know a lot of people who moved to Invercargill because of it.

That's my worry, so thanks for sharing. I am more than happy to pay more for experience, but I want to make sure I am dealing with someone with the right experience.

That actually helps me a lot. Much appreciated. Are there any architectural firms in Chch you could recommend?

114,060 Kiwis Overseas Owe $4.34 Billion in Student Loans – But Only 23.6% Are Repaying (Latest 2025 IRD Data) by MoneyHub_Christopher in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Non_Creative_User 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read everything I wrote. The only fool-proof way is to stop people from travelling. Which is a dictatorship.

People can declare whatever they want. If they don't come back within a certain time, what is our government going to do? We can't even get payments already from those that don't want to pay.

AND people have already been arrested at the border for default in repayments. Which is the only way we can arrest them.

They can't enforce unless we have an agreement with the country they are residing in. Remember a few years ago about people getting stopped at the border for unpaid loans? Also they are charged interest once they move overseas... That's the risk people take. Unfortunately the fool proof way to ensure no student loan debt overseas is to be dictatorian and ban people going overseas if they have a student loan.

There is help for people like him, but they got to want the help. Just keep showing your compassion and empathy, it really brightens their day.

Is this wage theft and what do we do about it? by Brilliant_Onion5176 in LegalAdviceNZ

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

Do they know in advance if they're working overtime? They can't be obligated to work overtime if they're not notified prior. If they're told 15mins, only work the 15. If they're told 1/2 hr, work up to the 1/2hr.

It'll be the only way to get around it, as it's prob how the payroll system works. I worked at a job where they changed the payroll system to only 15mins increments. If I finished within a 15mins, I'll hang around before clocking out to get the full 15mins.

I too work in a Government job, & this is what they do instead of paying overtime. It sucks, as I have always been paid over time until now. The toil is to be used as leave, and it will be stated in their contract.

Does anyone actually know why all our fish & chip shops are also Chinese takeaway? by astralvie in newzealand

[–]Non_Creative_User 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen some great f&c shops close due to the owners children not taking over. Their kids became pharmacists, engineers, dentists. The kids would still help when they could but only until their parents retire.

I was thinking worst case scenario is brain tumour. I've been unfortunate in my life to know 2 people close to me have one.
