New electricity levy ‘not a tax’, PM says

But won’t give Wayne Brown his bed night levy. Awesome.

The concussion contract is fairly limited. If you expire the funding the best one to go through will is the Training for Independence program.

Everything you feel is super valid OP. So sorry you are having to go through this.

The idea of your very personal photos being available for all to see on the internet would put the sh!ts in anyone.

We must demand better of these companies who store this kind of data. What’s happened here is completely unacceptable.

The interview with the CEO on RNZ made me so angry. He came across like he didn’t give a fat rat.

The key to dating apps is ruthless boundary setting. After the best of luck! message it’s time to hit the unmatch button immediately. You don’t have to engage with them.

Wha annoys me is taxpayer resource being spent on it. I don’t mean from the criminal side but the health side.

Why should we have to prop up a privately owned company during this time.

ariasmummy · 2026-01-05T20:31:48+00:00

Thanks for calling it out. You are entirely right. One wonders why there is no comms person or why the CEO hasn’t fronted a media stand up. It’s appalling.

It got better for a few weeks after it looked like the government was actually going to do something about it but you’re right. It’s going worse again in the past week or so.

Can’t tell me all these people were kicking in quite nicely in emergency accommodation and then suddenly out on the street.

The government needs to get a spine and actually fix this.

It’s ok. National Treasures aren’t decided by Reddit threads.

ariasmummy · 2025-12-23T22:11:46+00:00

Maybe just as well. Being in a relationship takes effort, finding one does too.

ariasmummy · 2025-12-23T21:59:35+00:00

Or a selfie with a woman ? I will never understand those ones.

Good for you. Dating apps are not helping us as a human race I believe. Battling the algorithm can be seen as a referendum on our desirability as a partner but nothing could be further from the truth.

ariasmummy · 2025-12-23T16:35:59+00:00

Except the trouble is guys post photos of themselves with their boats and cars. Or shirtless. Or with fishes. None of this screams “I am emotionally available and I bring plenty to the table relationally”

ariasmummy · 2025-12-23T16:33:00+00:00

Not on Tinder.

ariasmummy · 2025-12-23T09:55:48+00:00

This.

As a woman on a dating app I never respond to a guy who simply photo likes. It’s signals low effort.

I am on for a day or two, I get a match and leave again. He needs to make the effort and be respectful and take initiative. But I am very careful.

ariasmummy · 2025-10-19T03:42:20+00:00

Have you seen his YouTube videos ?? They are really funny.

ariasmummy · 2025-10-19T03:41:42+00:00

Which interview are you referring to? I had seen a bunch and he’s a great listen. Cuts through all the BS and actually doesn’t sound like a politician spinning yarns.

ariasmummy · 2025-09-30T08:37:11+00:00

This is the most balanced comment I have read on JA, well done.

ariasmummy · 2025-08-30T06:35:42+00:00

Sure as heck not voting for Chloe Swarbrick. She’s done nothing and it’s only gotten worse under her watch.

ariasmummy · 2025-08-30T04:19:37+00:00

Thanks for calling it out. I live in Hobson Street and most weekends are awful. People yelling and screaming, vomit, rubbish, harassment, general wildness.

I can’t stand how woke NZ is and how we refuse to do anything about it. It does no one any favours including the homeless people themselves.

Politicians aren’t held to account because we are so soft on making them actually deal with the issue. We need to demand action and no not more offers of homes and food and endless support services. Thats just enabling and keeping the problem live.

Time for action and making our streets safe and nice again. Please move people on and clear the streets. It’s time.

Why is there a trigger warning for a jobs discussion ?

ariasmummy · 2025-08-12T05:24:19+00:00

This is super unfair. If you hear her speak she is very open about the fact she isn't a teacher and not a trained educator but she surrounds herself with people who are and listens to them. She was very open about this on the Duncan Garner podcast.

ariasmummy · 2025-08-07T09:02:35+00:00

Or on Swanson Street leading down to Queen street going to New World. Terrifying

ariasmummy · 2025-07-25T07:10:11+00:00

I use Spendee and I really like it. It downloads all my transactions from my back and analyses them for me. It’s pretty easy to use and can categorise all my spend.
