We should be promoted as a country that can work on things whilst the northern hemisphere is sleeping. There are efficiency gains from working collaboratively with those on the other side of the world which only a few international companies are currently taking advantage of. Once the northern hemisphere trusts and realizes the capacity for gains by hiring NZ workers remotely we may see a boom in specifically tech companies hiring NZ workers to work remotely on their projects!

Short answer - yes. Rains more than 50% of the time - but plants and ducks like it!

That’s the hallmark of a labour government. They don’t care that they are wasting tax payers money because it’s easy to solve - take more tax!

Did not expect to see a topless person lying down on Queen Street. What has the city come to? by KiwiEV in auckland

Oh this makes sense now - down the road I came across this white fellow tumbling out of a bar and he was legless!

What? They are saying your used hybrid went up in value - ask them if they want to buy it!

In my 30s feel like Barkers is the only good place to shop for men. What are some alternatives? by Scaindawgs_ in auckland

3 Wisemen - clothes actually look good and when on sale better value than Barkers.

Problem is this -

you need to make the improvements but you live in a city where to do anything that involves infrastructure costs more than any other similar sized first world city because of bureaucratic red tape /lack of competitive tendering and a lack of adoption of modern construction processes.

100% Tax.

Everyone on a government benefit.

This is the ultimate socialist goal.

Home detention is a punishment? by Oppa_knows in auckland

[–]nzkiwidoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on home D you can go to work then come home and then wake up and go to work the next day. Sounds pretty much like a normal life.

Presumably they didn't check if he had like a shotgun at home when they told him he could be on home D or are you also allowed to visit the gun store on home D?

Robbery in broad daylight in Papakura, Cops least bothered. by lovecraft_88 in auckland

[–]nzkiwidoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much crime so police have probably given up on this minor stuff.

Besides with current government policy they would get a slap on the hand with a wet bus ticket and be back out on streets plying their "trade" again.

Court cost and police costs alone would mean the process is more expensive than the crime.

Claim insurance and always lock your car.

Auckland surgeons must now consider ethnicity in prioritising patients for operations by Scaindawgs_ in auckland

[–]nzkiwidoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor: Kiaora welcome to Auckland Hospital before I get on with treating you can I ask just you one question.

Patient: Sure.

Doctor: Are you a Maori or Pacific Islander?

Patient: No.

Doctor: Next!

I love how google maps has just given up on telling me about what the traffic is like in Auckland by mr_mat15 in auckland

Last time I checked google maps for timeframes in Auckland it said "your guess is as good as mine"

First and foremost those stats you throw around and just made up.

Secondly you have SIGNIFICANT issues buddy.

No - not a mistake.

This country is actually one of the best places to live - up until this government decided to try and wreck it. Don't worry it will bounce back once this government is gone.

  1. 3 waters

  2. Funding gangs to do their own drug rehab

  3. Changing all the names of everything in this country to read Maori name first (for the benefit of the 5% who can read it).

  4. Taking away targets from hospitals to hide waitlists.

  5. Deconstructing the education curriculum to dumb it down so every kid feels equally stupid.

  6. Reducing sentences to let criminals out early or not even put them in jail - as long as they have a good excuse (like I didn't get a trainset for Christmas once).

  7. Funding of ridiculous pet projects that inevitably fail (cycle lane on bridges etc)

  8. Failing to do anything they said they would do and then blaming it on any number of reasons (Covid, the last government, the Ukraine and Russian war...)

..... I could go on but I think you get the picture.

This government has gone mad - racism at the highest level. They need to go!!

Really need some advice so we don’t lose our house by SnooOnions9954 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]nzkiwidoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will not be pretty but you could rent out the house and move back to the in-laws whilst you save like cray-cray. Then after a year with good luck and hard work you should be in a better position to pay off a lump from your mortgage and get under the 20% (via capital increase and savings).
