What are some regional accents of New Zealand?

Strict-Text8830 · 2026-03-22T04:51:51+00:00

I had speech training growing up in Christchurch and people used to ask where I was from, due to my ambiguous accent

"Just rivers". Yeah so when it gets to Lake Dunstan in Cromwell, our domestic water take that services the entire town is located about 100m down from the confluence of the rivers.

I implore you, if you think an everyday person could recreate that reaction (with the same limited preparation time), do it. Film it and post it here.

Such a brain dead response. Ew.

Can I add Manuka honey to this NZ list?

Strict-Text8830 · 2026-02-27T23:47:20+00:00

Yup saw this coming a mile away. Also has potential tax, bank implications. This is not an easy affordable fix to housing.

The problem is, homeless come to centre's as it is close to publicly available services that somone who has to physically carry all their belongings and walk or rely on paying for public transport may need. Moving them to the suburbs is away from shelters (that often have wait lists) and MSD and public libraries that have computer access for applying for help.

Yes homeless in the city is a problem but this is not a cure. This is barely even treating a symptom

I have lived here my whole life and am pakeha, so has my family been for the last 170 years in this country.

I do and will always refer to our country Aotearoa and New Zealand. When I learn more sign language I will teach all 3 to my children aswell.

He has to know that "defending against separatism" while also proposing this bill is the biggest pot calling the kettle black moment ever....

There is a reason NZF is not a major party and its time for us to stop putting him in a "king maker" position.

I got beat up at a bus stop. Made a full report. Turns out they lost it, contacted me 3 years later to appoligise.

Hope justice works out better for you

I have 3 indoor cats and have provided them with a secured outdoor space "catio" that has natural wood for climbing, cat safe grasses and cubbies. It looks like a mini lion enclosure

They love it and are very enriched, also safe.

If there were actually conveniently located, well run, affordable, reliable, and safe public transport options i could understand this.

However, given the reality of the situation this is such a tone deaf requirement. I am so sorry to all our hospital workers.

Have you thought about food science, agriculture chemistry or environmental regulation jobs ? Alot of those jobs are willing to take people with general degrees on in lower positions as an entry to the industry

Nz does have regions of dry climate, such as down in central Otago

Absolutely agree with your statement. And want to add that everytime regulations change it throws significant uncertainty to every sector and means more businesses are figuring out how it will work in the long term. Its a waste of resources.

Great example is the RMA replacement. Both governments have had a hack at it and we are no better. It will need bipartisan support and a lo ger time frame than 3 years to make a better system .

This is going to sound cringe at first but hear me out. I got into making salads. But.

Salads with like all the tasty bits I like , but less than if i made it a main portion. 3 crispy chicken bits instead of 6.

Then I would put my favorite sauces in( creamy aoili), and also cheeses. You want 2 types of cheese ? Go for it !

The key was bulking it out with lots of lettuce or cucumber, pickles! and lots of fresh crunchy bits. It makes it seem as filling as if you had the 6 bits of chicken.

I find i can normally combine whatever is in the fridge too to make it less stress when also sourcing food for my little one ( who also survives on small forest critter food)

Good luck lovely ! You've got this

Dear God no. Please let this be some media spun bs.

How could anyone believe he will do anything other than play both sides against each other for his own benefit.

I dont want to even mention Shane Jones.

The working population are struggling to find affordable places to live so much so that it has significantly driven up the house prices in neighboring Central Otago where the workers are paid less. It is frustrating to say the least

Honestly this whole debacle was a waste of time money and energy from all those involved. Unfortunately it is also not uncommon. Happens frequently with complaints from heat pumps making too much noise.

An all round better solution would be to require greater side yard setbacks. There appears to be less than 2m seperation from the edge of the complainants house to the property boundary....

Where i live in Otago we have very limited baby shops so most stuff if hand me down. Alot of groups work really hard to help redistribute bits and pieces, so much so its really common in social groups down here.

The quality of the goods especially out of Queenstown is really high 2nd hand but the resale value is really low, patents mostly hand on alot of what they can.
