I suspect we are still in bushfire phase!
I'm positive about kiwisaver but glad I put a chunk of savings in another account. Like the lady in the article, I'm nibbling away at those savings while looking for work as an older person who can't yet access the kiwisaver funds.

Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

I've worked overseas on construction projects with toll roads. One thing they had in common was that there ALWAYS had to be a non tolled alternative.

I've been to the Holocaust Museum in DC. This is giving similar vibes. Unbelievably crass and creepy and wrong.

Unfortunately not surprising from this coalition of Toadies, busy fawning right now to Trump at ASEAN. Are they waiting for islands to disappear completely before they make any commitment?

Yes it's just a building but it's letting yet more of his supporters/controllers funnel support money into his coffers in return for what favours?
Also, not responding is once again letting him ignore laws and conditions and I don't think you should allow yourselves to normalize that.

I've seen a few Dunedin trees turned their roots up, hope you are ok. Had to check Nicks roof twice.

No idea? Yeah right, yet again.

Yeah right.

I read the recent natgeonz article on haupuka with much sadness. The evidence for supporting true marine reserves is so strong yet this (expletive deleted) government pays no attention to anything except it's donors
