If they go to NZ they will just turn around with a kiwi passport and go to Australia, hence the boats will all start again. People trafficking has to stop
If we take these people it will start the boats, people smuggling again. They pay thousands to the boat owners to get to Australia, they are not refugees, as one poster said, queue jumpers. Most of them are men wanting a better life than their own country can give. Go through the proper channels, join the queue.
He obviously did. On holiday in Scotland many of the beautiful Lochs we could not get access to the waterfront, same as this guy did, wanted it all for himself. Please do not allow that here in NZ
Both my son and daughter went to uni in Dunedin. I could write a book about some of the places they rented, trouble was they had no trouble renting these properties. The council should have stepped in or someone to put a stop to it
Why doesnt this owner obtain from the neighbour an access or as he he claims it is easy to do through a lawyer hr then could sell at a far better price. Something wrong here
For many years we used to go to a campsite at the mount, sadly over the years the spaces got smaller and smaller until one year I could look into the caravan parked next to us. That was our last summer there. Good memories though.
No ...charge the ones who opposed this cathedral being demolished and a new one built. The thing is that lot don't even go to the Anglican church. They should be ashamed of themselves
You have made a comment I was going to make so thank you, yes go and live in the countryside. My sister is a nurse and once lived under a helicopter flight path, if she were on nights even earplugs did not keep the noise out, she got little sleep. She had to move either that or find a different job with no night shifts. Please think of other people who live in residential zones
Stuff will never post this however I am gong to say it, Bob Parker was the worst mayor we could have had he and his cohort who he gave a huge pay rise to, yes while he played golf just like Trump. Ill never forget the march to the town hall, he never even came out. A very brave firefighter spoke how that year he got no pay rise yet dear Bob gave his mate a huge increase. Bob the national party member who dear John recommended. Hang your head in shame
Had NZ been able to be reached before Australia we then would have the problem, just OZ first port so to speak. They are not refugees they are migrant queue jumpers. They should have been returned to Malaysia. Look at UK and Germany because of open borders. We need to prioritise, our own first, yes I agree some refugees should be allowed in, migrant queue jumpers who paid people smugglers never. Slam me all you want,
What I find wrong is permit holders lending their disability card to able bodied family members. Yes it happens I heard a lady saying she lends hers to her family. She should have it taken from her.
I saw a parent pushing a tiny baby in a pram to day care, it was just before 7 am and snowing. The wee Bub should have been warm and secure in its cot. That was several years ago but I have never forgotten it, it really affected me. Where have we gone wrong, whats happening to us
Before I contribute Id like to know what insurance company. I know several people who have gone to Bali and never bothered with insurance, I am not saying this dear lady did this however I have stopped donating blindly to the give a little.
The Catholic cathedral is so much more beautiful architecture wise than the Anglican one but hey no one gave them the advertisement that the Anglican cathedral got. Shame on Jim Anderson for not giving support to both cathedrals. Maybe time to let both go and have one for both creeds
Me too, they should have sent the police to tell their families maybe get the message across how serious this is both for the victims and the bullies, if they are not held responsible they will do it again, one day they may be on a manslaughter charge
I read the house prices are going to just show 1 value. For years they have been over valued. Some in Christchurch after the earthquake just doubled in price. Absolutely ridiculous. The only one to benefit was the council
20 years ago we bought a small flat as an investment hopefully for retirement, we had a mortgage. Well after a bad run of tenants, we had enough, even court orders were hard to enforce, they go on the dole etc etc etc. after 4 years we sold it I truly could not take the stress anymore. A neighbour used a letting agency and had no better luck than us. How people live with themselves at times is beyond me.
I have had a screen door put on I keep locked, yes I got sucked in by a door salesman never again, if they keep talking I just say no thanks and shut my door, I too have a no canvassers sticker even the JHW ignore it...I am sure you dont mind us, yes I do
The only bitter ones are the fans, some comments here prove it. I say good for them they are enjoying a beer and each others company. Thanks stuff for showing us how our team are classy
We had a car pass us I could not believe the driver was drinking a bottle of beer, further down the road his kid passenger through the bottle out the window on the road, we had to swerve. Unfortunately his number plate was covered in muck. This was north of Wellington.

No racism in New Zealand my backside. Tell that to an Asian couple house viewing when the neighbour followed them to their car saying I dont want Asians living next door to me. When the land agent rang them they told him to tell the owner he lost a sale because of his neighbour, no way would he buy next door to such a racist person. Enjoy Dubai, I think it ideal to see different cultures while saving so you can buy a home when you come back to NZ.
Thats the way to go. I think if he took her to choose and said the limit was what he spent she would accept this. I am thankful we both chose my ring, not expensive but our choice

Christchurch do not allow new homes to have a log fire. The log fire was so good, bank it up at night keeps everywhere cozy, warms the whole house plus heats water and you can put a pot of soup or stew on.
Exactly, thanks. I cannot eat dairy, at first I found it very hard, now I make my own almond milk 30% almonds and try other non dairy items, still miss cream and proper cheese though
Actually some Christians on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem got stones thrown at them by ultra Orthodox Jews. It is one of their commandments to do this. It is on you tube. A lot of the original commandments have been dropped. Have a look it's interesting to say the least
You are correct, the same happened to my friends son, he wanted to repay his loan, he tried very hard to work with IRD but no, though he made payments at the end of the year he owed even more due to interest and penalties for not paying the full yearly amount, he couldnt, he declared bankruptcy and IRD lost all, a shame as he tried, this part needs to be looked into, work out a plan with the debtor,
IRD refused to work in with a repayment plan with one young man, he had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. The thing is he tried hard to repay. IRD need to work work with these students on a repayment plan, not all earn enough to live and pay the yearly amount plus interest
Actually I have visited Shanghai a couple of times, puts us to shame as far as transport is concerned and yes tourist places, where in Asia have you been
Hammer pools are cheaper for locals only, we visited from Christchurch and had to pay the same as tourist. Sadly a lot of things we just cannot afford anymore.
