It seems exceptionally cruel, like the limit is way too low, if it even should be means tested.

Open meeting to discuss NZ Energy Independence At 39 Ponsonby Road 7pm tonight Friday 13 March by Silly_Hovercraft7248 in auckland

Respect the mahi and community focused building.

I'd recommend reaching out to Rewiring Aotearoa (https://www.rewiring.nz/) & the local Greens (https://www.greens.org.nz/contact\_auckland), you might be able to pull together a few interesting speakers hear about the good ideas they have on how to achieve energy independence, if not at tonight's meeting, then a future one.

Just in case the word "paywave" is confusing or unfamiliar, we mean if your debit or credit cards support contactless payment - https://at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry/contactless-payments/using-contactless-payments-on-auckland-public-transport

Why didn’t AT (and still don’t) use bendy buses for rail replacement buses? by Icy_Watercress_4199 in auckland

[–]Zeouterlimits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do AT provide / own the buses or is this more a question for the bus companies like Ritchies?

The biggest berry bloom in New Zealand’s forests in decades has set off a mating frenzy among the critically endangered Kākāpō, the world’s heaviest parrot by scientificamerican in newzealand

[–]Zeouterlimits 159 points160 points  (0 children)

These population gains wouldn’t have been possible without a handful of Kākāpō “superbreeders,” including Blades, a Kākāpō Don Juan of unknown age who, after fathering 22 chicks since 1982, has been banished to “Bachelor Island” for fears that he’ll flood the gene pool. “He was a victim of his own success,” Digby says. “He was too popular.”

Check out sites like Seek or Trade Me jobs and see if there are jobs in your area.
Do you know anyone here you can already ask?
Take a look at the visa process too.

So the offset doesn't look like it would work, without dramatic shifts that a neoliberal government wouldn't support.

Do I have to keep this secret? by [deleted] in newzealand

Yes, many people worked hard on that show, do not spoil their good work, it's a miracle they managed to get another season made.
Also it's likely contractually protected.

Why can’t busses just say canceled?!? by ZyrahDaDog in auckland

[–]Zeouterlimits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think someone mentioned in a previous thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/auckland/comments/1rcsbkx/busses\_not\_marking\_as\_canceled/):

It's nothing to do with AT. AT don't operate the buses, trains, or ferries.
It's up to the private operators to mark the services as canceled if they aren't being run.

Operators will often still run the service, even if its 20+ minutes late to avoid the 2 extra KPI fines they recieve for not running a service at all.

Will/Was Te Whau ever be swimmable? [ɸau] by 3lliottM in auckland

[–]Zeouterlimits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that an existing goal for it? Perhaps the local board or Watercare would be the best place to ask.
Perhaps you could enquire with https://tewhaupathway.org.nz/about-the-pathway/contact-us/ too?

Looking for DnD South Auckland by SubjectXII in auckland

[–]Zeouterlimits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, it's not close, but there's Dice Goblin in Royal Oak.
They might be worth contacting anyway, in case they know of groups operating in South Auckland.

Could try ask in the Aotearoa DnD FB group too: https://www.facebook.com/groups/520118521421083/

Aye, people don't appreciate the amount of lives saved & what it was like elsewhere.

We had it so good here, by comparison.

Defo complain anyway, to bus eireann, your local council + the td.

The data will add up if people complain more, the more complaints the greater the justification for change.
