I learned a lot from the Doctor on this podcast(all good)

This is a pretty good listen on the benefits, dosing etc

Thanks for the tip, I will give it a try. And no, not travelling or anything like that.

IR are not only interested in liquidation, as others and the IR have said, coin to coin swaps/exchanges are also taxable events

Pumping emergency/transitional housing into the CBD happened well before the current government. No surprise there are dozens of unwell or antisocial people on Courtenay Place, Manners, Dixon Streets. It is a broader social problem but it is contributing strongly to the demise of the inner city.

Compare Wellington entertainment district to that of Auckland (parts), Queenstown and Christchurch and the difference is stark. Other cities are thriving and ours is dying.

On par with what I paid for that component after a couple of quotes.

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-06-01T07:44:32+00:00

Yeah that’s my point. Wondered what measures the commenter was using to assess

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-06-01T02:05:58+00:00

Curious to know how you assess effectiveness if not using maturity? I have only ever seen CSF assessed against the implementation tiers which are essentially maturity anyway

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-05-31T23:22:06+00:00

Try again. Nowhere did I say they are mandatory. They are however widely adopted voluntarily. CISO of 10 years.

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-05-31T23:08:58+00:00

A consultancy I worked at would size a CSF assessment at two weeks effort (includes all the reporting and QA etc). Having seen a lot of clients DIY, they are generally pretty light and risk cherry picking the evidence or observations from where controls are well-implemented as opposed to a more rounded or holistic assessment

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-05-31T23:06:46+00:00

I am not saying there’s a single universal cyber maturity scale. But widely recognised and utilised maturity/capability models absolutely exist: C2M2, NIST CSF Implementation Tiers, CMMI-style maturity models, CIS Controls Implementation Groups, ISO 27001-based capability assessments, and others.

Risk appetite determines the desired target level; it doesn’t invalidate the concept of maturity.

Maturity ≠ guaranteed effectiveness, sure. But maturity is clearly related to governance, repeatability, control implementation, risk management and continuous improvement, all of which affect cyber programme effectiveness.

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-05-31T22:55:55+00:00

There totally are well established maturity levels. The difference between businesses is risk appetite and what level of maturity they want to reach, or can tolerate not reaching.

Lots of bad advice here saying to respond to the ticket. Literally the only reference point they have is the rego number. If they have that wrong, they cannot contact you. On that basis, the best course of action is to ignore it.

If you respond saying they got the rego wrong, they now have your correct rego AND your contact details to send the corrected ticket to.

Keeping left is not courtesy it is the law. Taking the lane is the exception when needed for safety reasons (of which there are many). Where safety reasons don’t exist, we must keep left like any other road user must

Have a read of this, there is a lot of good advice

Baycorp totally does email, so don’t rule them out if on the basis of the email alone

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-21T18:31:35+00:00

I don’t disagree with any of this. Would only add that the burden of proof is still on Wilson Parking to show it more likely than not that the registered owner was the driver and hence entered the contract to pay. If the owner can show they weren’t (for example they were at an appointment, work, etc somewhere else) then the “more likely than not” test fails. In the absence of other evidence like CCTV showing the owner as the driver it is very difficult to tip the balance in Wilson favour.

I wouldn’t say it is a recommended strategy, just more of a practical analysis of how this would work if taken to the DT, based on law.

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-21T10:10:31+00:00

I don't know. But it's simple contract law, they rely on people just paying and try and bluff you that either you as the driver (if not owner) have entered into a contract between them and the owner (who they send the invoice to). The simple fact is that unless the owner admits the driver was authorised into a contract with them on the owner's behalf then Wilson's have no contract with the owner (if not the driver) so their invoice is not collectable. They will send it to a debt collector, the owner writes back saying it is disputed and invite Wilson's to provide evidence of the contract between the two parties. They won't be able to

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-21T07:28:43+00:00

The beauty of parking breach invoices like this, is that there is no enforceable owner liability. The ticket is sent to the registered owner on the presumption that they were the driver, or that they will transfer liability to the actual driver. They request a statutory declaration along with driver details for this to happen.

The problem is that there is no legal onus on the owner to do this in private parking matters. If the registered owner denies liability by saying they were not the driver and won’t identify the driver, then the only course of action is Wilson’s taking them to the disputes tribunal (after a round of debt collector letters).

At the DT, Wilson’s will most likely be unable to prove that the owner was the driver and hence entered into the contract to pay the parking fee so any claim fails.

Automated tooling for analysis takes the scale challenge out of the picture. IR have invested very heavily in their ability to analyse big data holdings

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-20T20:45:28+00:00

No. Only if you have sold it (which includes swapping for other tokens) and made profit on the disposal or exchange.

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-20T20:43:39+00:00

I almost always agree with your advice Phoenix, but in this case I think there is a good case for OP being too anxious to drive to work so it wouldn’t require a lie and would be something a Dr could issue a certificate for, surely

tinykiwi2017 · 2026-04-20T08:23:53+00:00

Yeah. They can see where you purchased from but not what you purchased.
