I always thought the ird would do things correctly. I cannot believe they are doing this to their workers what a disgusting state of affairs. I hope some of them take out a grievance against the ird and the ird gets pulled back into line, how shopping.
Housing NZ are involved because the have a very competitive tendering system and cheaper workers are used. They are the root of the problem. Pay peanuts get monkeys.
People get sick whatever age. A partner can end up with a sick partner or a dieing one for that matter. You get what you are dealt. If you dont like it separate.The greater age difference has been hauled out before, so it should not come as a surprise.Tough luck you should have given some thought to this.
It always amazes me how some people take up a business and they know nothing about it.You wouldnt take on the business of being an electrician or electronics technician and yet people dive into businesses not knowing what they dont know.I am further amazed by people who think they can site manage construction jobs on their own properties.It really is a case of not knowing what you dont know.Alex deals with these people whom become very upset when their limitations are placed in front of themselves.They become quite bewildered when the wheels come off and blame everybody but themselves. It is a great show I will look forward to it.
This is legendary in NZ and has been published with updates many times.It is always interesting and we continue to hope ancestors of those original Moose have survived and will be spotted one day.
I think we should reserve our comments on the Denver singer but all good to these girls who want to sing our national anthem at the next game what a great idea.
The current Tender system and compliance costs are catching up on Construction companies.Also the product approval system leaves Builders liable as with the leaky homes debacle.We should not be pressured to change products so readily unless the suppliers stand by their products in a better way. Products are not better or improved they are cheaper.
Tell that to the legal profession who regularly ask for advance payments. Trades people assess the likely hood of not getting paid and sometimes make advance payments mandatory or no job.
yes thats the way it seems Ive got to learn to handle these little interruptions in the game. both teams have to play the referee and make allowances for it
What people need to understand is that when insurance companies get paid the premium they think its their money that is it.Any claim is viewed with total disdain. They will fight to reject any claim on their money.
Actually this is a genuine mistake with a lack of direction given by the Christchurch CC.These guys could have been criticised either way.Council, give better instructions in future.
My friend and I visited this place some years ago on a trout fishing tour in the Sth Island. We stayed in a rail carriage on the railway which was purportedly a carriage once used by the Queen.While visiting the local for a drink we had our Aussie hats stolen which I provided as a gimmick for my friend and I.
Congratulations on doing a week making your shoes, it is this kind of personal quest that we proudly remember for ever. These are memories that no one can take away.
Always amazes me how long it takes the authority to move these vehicles.Take a tow truck up there and move it.Alttentatively push it over the side.geez how hard is it.
What needs an overhaul is not how much we pay but how it is spent.An example is when staff are collecting rubbish on the side of the motorway. Two large traffic management trucks are used plus the vehicle of the staff doing the collection of rubbish being driven along while the one staff member collects rubbish. Three vehicles and at least 4 workers. This rubbish collection probably costs more than a thousand dollars an hr. This is only one thing that needs reorganizing.$2m per year.
I have a model that could turn kiwi dairy farms into total nonpolluters.It would even make them more profitable and strengthen other industries around them.
What a disappointing fight from Parker. I cant put it in words just downright disappointing. the only thing I can say is they did it for the money the loss or win didnt matter.
had this happened in NZ no one would have been allowed in the cave because of lack of oxygen and the potential for it to flood. the cavers would have died.
Yes retrained, it is a euphemism for polite indoctrination of their process so the workers dont forget again. It is a reinforcement process, it gives the management a chance to again stress the importance of their safety process.
oh such rubbish. it is to do with the weather minima the particular aircraft can tolerate. most international aircraft are better equipped - it is more necessary because of the cost flying to alternates and the cost of carrying fuel instead of freight or passengers.
Both teams are subject to the referees discretion. It was unfortunate for both that Fall was red carded. ABs played a compromised team and French had to play with fewer players.
Unfortunately these head injuries sustained by those who believe they are free to do as they like use up huge tax payer funds. Sitting at home watching tv is not the only other option. People dont have to be out there bashing themselves to bits to enjoy life.We hopefully progressed past the gladiator stage, so lets move on at get past this era.
Yes lets find a way to justify these terrible head injuries that Rugby players get. Compare it to boxing. Neither are okay, both produce brain damages, we know that, but rather than do something proactive like stopping it altogether lets pretend its okay. Look at Ali. Look at all American footballers. Look at UK they have now banned heading the ball in lower leagues.
This couple tried to site manage work and are obviously not qualified or experienced. People would not try being a doctor or electronics technician, why do they think they can manage building work.
