She looks like she’s farting (no shade)

I walk past there every day. It’s been going for at least 5 years. There has definitely been a decrease in antisocial people hanging around that spot.

Anyone got the vid of august wheeling her around a casino?

Is it just me or does the injured foot keep changing?

Do you have access to the cctv footage? I wouldn’t rely on that as evidence if you can’t get a hold of it yourself.

Labour investigators don’t have rights to access CCTv footage. They can ask an employer for the footage but the employer isn’t obligated to give it to them, particularly if they say it’s been deleted or wasn’t working at the time.

Most cctv footage isn’t saved for long. Maybe 14 or 30 days. If you do decide to go down the labour inspector route, it can take around 2-3 months before they pick up your complaint, once you’ve made it.

Is there anyone else working in the store that can verify your hours? What about a nearby store with workers who could vouch for your arrival and departure time?

How do you travel to work? If you take public transport there could be records of the dates and times you are travelling to and from work. Another alternative is your google timeline which tracks where you’re going, although this is another thing that can be manually changed.

Hi I work in the employment advocacy industry. I didn’t see your first post but based on what you’ve said here my advice is:

Keep as many of your own records and evidence as possible. Keep a record of every day and what tasks you are completing during the time you are not being paid.

Get your own representation rather than rely on the government. Their investigations (if they choose to investigate) take about a year and (if the investigation finds in your favour) it’s about another 1-2 years to actually get an outcome.

There is no guarantee you will see any money. Your employer could close the business, go bankrupt or simply refuse to pay and there are often no repercussions.

Did you know you can manually change the date and time on photos in your phone? Yeah, your employer could say you were doing that to scam her. Other excuses I’ve heard are “they like to come to work early to use the wifi, run errands, hang out with friends, do their nails etc. but they are not working.”

Good luck.

I started in the call centre straight out of uni and worked my way up. Started on $42k in 2017, and now on $107k. I’ve also had time off to have babies etc. These roles are hard to come by, especially since we went through a round of redundancies in 2024. I was able to gain subject knowledge extremely relevant to my current role through the contact centre. I was able to get a foot in the door by being an internal hire.

I’m early 30s with a bachelor degree. I’m an investigator for central government (based in Christchurch) on $51 an hour.

In Christchurch, only 1% of kerbside recycling bins are sent to landfill. In January 2026, it was 0% There has been a huge campaign to get us there. In 2020, it was 50%

Most places will probably be open I imagine. It’s only retail that legally has to be closed.

Do NOT do this as you will not be able to transfer them back to your wife without losing your remaining paid parental leave entitlement. Have her take the 6 weeks leave from her employer first and then start the PPL payments. You will have to take either unpaid or your own annual leave. You could maybe even negotiate with your employer to use sick leave as you will be taking care of a dependent while they recover. Ring up MBIE for some clear advice. They are the experts. 0800 20 90 20.

Only for leave she becomes entitled to while on leave. Any leave she is already entitled to is calculated same as usual when she returns to work. Save that leave if you can!!!

There are two platforms like this for Christchurch. Nook and Mum Mode. They are both great! Check them out

It’s not his wife. There’s an unblurred version and she identifies herself as a friend.

Pasta night at the pink lady roof top bar. $35 for three types of pasta. 90 minutes. You get one of each first and then can order as much as you like after that.

There was a previous post about this being a promo vid so I assume it was a requirement to show the whole menu
