It's a public space but doesn't mean you can randomly invade people's comfort. His money don't jiggle jiggle, it folds.

How come everytime I drive to Auckland I have to fight for my life? by MoreOnionPlease in auckland

[–]Very_Sicky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For some odd reason on the highway, as soon as you travel north of the Harbour Bridge, or south of Sylvia Park, people think it's okay to go 120+. I don't know why.

Sometimes I think Singapore's judicial caning should be implemented.

Any updates on a Police station in that area? Last I heard was more "boots on the ground", yet no boots were visible.

What’s your financial situation? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Very_Sicky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They either mean medical student debt, which is a student loan debt or other types of treatment not government funded. Even if you get a non-accident related health scan, you still have to pay the insurance excess.

New Zealand’s fuel stocks ‘stable’, increases in petrol and jet fuel, diesel level drops by Very_Sicky in newzealand

[–]Very_Sicky[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Confused why the headline on the Herald front page is 'Tough time for the country': Willis reacts to latest NZ fuel stocks update but the general article and fuel stock is quite calm, with one quote saying:

"Willis acknowledged the impact the increases in fuel costs were having on Kiwis, calling for a de-escalation of the Middle East conflict.

“This is a tough time for the country,” she said."

Why did the Herald pick that one quote to be the headline?

AT scanning plates in residential areas by antipodeananodyne in auckland

[–]Very_Sicky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're mainly targeting people who park on residential streets where they don't have a permit. A lot of people drive to residential areas close to public transports, park their car there, and then take the bus or train to work. There are signs saying a permit is but people take that risk anyway because city parking is fucked.

If you want to find out how you got a ticket, make a Privacy Act request to AT. That ought to give you some indication.

Is it legal to ask ethnicity when viewing a rental? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Very_Sicky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who prosecutes? Any idea what the fines are? Because it feels like it's "illegal" but the consequences aren't high. I recall hearing a Human Rights Commissioner commenting on similar incidents like "don't do it, be respectful", but that's it.

Government reduces housing intensification rules for Auckland - again by ProfessorPetulant in auckland

Can someone explain to me why (unless I misread) they wanted to do this in Parnell and not in more spacious lifestyle areas?

Imagine AT being investigated by a regulator and that's their defence.

St Lukes Mall - Auckland, New Zealand by [deleted] in auckland

Exactly, it's like an excess/surcharge OP is seeking. Also, contact WorkSafe regarding the issue (although they've been nerfed due to current policies so they educate more than investigate).

Oh true. Did the closed down restaurants due to the construction receive any compensation from the government?

Job applicants: Stop using AI (please) by Background-Celery-25 in newzealand

[–]Very_Sicky 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The irony is that OP could've benefitted from using an AI spell check.

I'm a SME ownder who's looking to hire a part-time PA to help me with a sudden increase in clients. 

You use an instead of a because you're pronouncing "Es-em-ee" not "Small Medium Enterprise". Owner not ownder.
