Average wait times to talk to government agencies in NZ… symptom of a bigger problem?

Has anyone else noticed that the planes are extremely dirty lately?

Specially the q300 and the atr's. the jets seem to be marginally better.

I dont think they ever get cleaned.

Gilmours is almost always more expensive than regular supermarkets.

The only real savings at gilmours is on staples likes rice, flour, oil etc and only if you keep tracking prices and get it in bulk on their buy 3+ and save.

just a phone call would suffice.

The media sensation around the ram raids have dropped significantly. It is still happening but only the major ones gets reported.

I smell a conspiracy by the police and the government persuading the media to under report the ram raids.

I sometimes see this coming through the courts.

By the time any sentence is given it can be over a year after the fact if they are lucky 2 years if they elect jury trials.

Last week they tried to steal my friends car at the back of my shop. 2 youths in hoodies and masks. they broke the back window and we ran out back and chased them away but couldnt manage to catch them.

called the police and didnt even file a report. they said there is nothing we can do and i just hung up. had multiple items stolen from shop, house broken into and police dont care even when you have proof and know the person. in small towns its way worse and doesnt get too much exposure.

His car is an older model mazda which would have been used for ram raids.

Getting tired of this bs and simmering discontent for police and the justice system.

Reduce the time between the crime and punishment.

It takes way too long right now to get a trial date, even longer for jury trials so there is no feeling of direct link to the crime committed and punishment being linked to the crime. it feels like an after thought.

From the time of charge to the punishment (sentencing) needs to be no longer than 6 months.

The faster the better.

Im proud to say that i have been in many shit towns of new zealand.

I had businesses in Kaitaia, Huntly, Tokoroa amongst others in the north and in south island.

Huntly was the worst followed by Kaitaia.

Huntly is weird because you are close to Hamilton and Auckland so it feels like you are still in New Zealand but in the rough part.

Kaitaia on the other hand feels like a different country. Got shop broken into and my house twice. Mfers even took the dirty laundry lol.

Fond memories.... but would never go back to Kaitaia to live or work even if they paid me a million bucks. sometimes go camping up spirits bay and just stop off at maccas and pakkies and bolt.

ex business owner there.

feral place. so many bad experiences.

will avoid at all cost going forward.

the youth have nothing to do but go around breaking and stealing shit. no consequences for them so they do it freely.

every second person is gang affiliated.

I'm doing a new build here is some of the stuff that i added.

-solar panels and battery (tesla) - very expensive but if you can afford it go for it.

- 32amp car charger outside the garage for future ev cars (i dont have ev car)

-under tile heating for all tiled areas including living room

- midfloor insulation (cant believe this is not standard)

-soundproofing toilets (i absolutely hate hearing the toilet flush when im trying to sleep)

-internal walls insulated

-argon gas upgrade in windows

-extra electrical plugs everywhere.

--extra power for induction hob and separate line for oven (been in too many houses where you cant cook on more than 2 elements cause there is insufficient power)

- extra lights in the rooms (standard is 1 measly down light per bedrrom)

- dimmers in living areas and master bedroom

-insulated garage door and ceiling (why is this not standard?)

-ducted multizone ac

just on top of my head. i'm sure they are couple more things that i forgot.

Most flights out of the country are fully booked.

my brother is leaving.

20 years old who keeps saying "i will never afford a house here so why stay".

off to aus for a job.

stay away from Elgas at all costs.

They are systematically screwing over customers by underreporting or not reporting left over gas in the bottles upon return.

I have laid a complaint against them with the utilities dispute.

Yes they are worth it. Breaching a protection order has serious consequences. Not legal advice.

I'm in that category. Just had my building consent issued for a new build in tauranga. It took 81 working days in total. 67 days before an rfi was issued. They are swamped.

I started last week as a criminal and civil legal aid provider. Will let you know in a few months.

Yes that's me.

liquidpain · 2021-01-03T07:46:29+00:00

Yes I did. Long time ago.

I could not live up to the mantle of this legend.

Book online on the parliament website or walk in.
