From 8 Nov, a minister with a mortgage-free Wellington home can still claim the full $52,000 allowance if a valuer says it could rent for $1,000 a week. Under Upston's law, from April, homeowners on the Accommodation Supplement get nothing until housing costs top 40% of their benefit, not 30. #nzpol

This is the south coast which is fully drivable. Do better @1newsnz.nzcow.com

I thought rates would go down under the proposed new WCC Capital Value to Land Value. Instead a group of 6 flats is going to have to find another $180 each ($1.1K total). How does that make sense? We each have 75m2 homes and just enough land to park cars and dry washing and a few plants in pots.

ok small business friends - especially wellington ones. Does anyone think things are going to have a christmas upswing? or is this year a write off? #NZ #SmallBusiness I was hoping for post election improvement, but now i'm worried it's going to stay in the doldrums.

The 25% of the world didn't die in 2020 from Covid. So yay science!

Between my health and mum’s age we can’t do much. But what she can do is write letters to the editor of our increasingly right wing Wellington newspaper that we subscribe to.

3 phone call and 2 hours and 43 minutes later the WINZ call center is sending a person an email and someone will get back to me. Because nobody knows why my application was declined, it's weird to decline prescription drugs and it's weird to decline physio therapy that was covered until now

I wonder how much New Zealand artists get paid for being the WINZ waitlist music .

Game over. We can give up on substantial tax reform for at least another three years then. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/opportunit...

i can rent practical magic 2 online tonight - maybe the world will be ok. And by me i mean mum will ;)

off to my third trip to WINZ to provide disability allowance documentation. Each time i provide all they ask, each time i receive a letter saying 'we need X as well' all those extras could be asked for with the first set of docs but no. I wonder is this a strategy at WINZ or an offshoot of ai?

Is a livestreamed execution really that unusual in a country where ICE kill people in public on the regular?

Having now seen Digger & Coyote Vs Acme I don’t understand how they dropped the ball on a delightful comedy and instead pandered to Tom cruise

For the first time in over a decade i'm not doing product photography or putting any effort into selling online. The hours and money i put in last year did not pay off and that doesn't account for the time it took, & economically postage is ridiculous.

The most important and most depressing thing you'll read today.

Timeline Cleanse - Magnificent mahi Making our environment better

So weird how on RNZ Guyon and PAddy decided Nicky Hager's book was nothing, based on TPU always going at Nicola Willis. Lazy journalism at it's best.

Does anyone know i Labour plan to supply staff to fill all the hospital buildings they're going to fix? Because a shiny new or fixed building is great but if there's nobody to heal people it's pointless?

I'm at Unity Bookshop Wellington for the Nicky Hager book launch. The event is not due to start until 6 pm, but the room is mostly full already and filling up fast.

Cool. Now do Destiny Church. www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

This would solve the empty space problem in Wellington fast than the City Council paying landlords to repaint their shopfronts

did humans discover a new cat species or did cats feel like the world some good news? Either way i would like meet a Tilcayo Tiger Cat one day www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Oh hai, new cat alert. My heart is full of happiness with a new member of the house. She’s mostly blind and has a congenital condition that means her walk is a little derpy. She’s unable to murder birds , loves naps and is incredibly gentle with mum.

Meet Matilda the cat. currently visiting with the hope she loves us and our house enough to stay forever. She’s 3 years old old and I love her so much

Ok NZ it’s almost midnight, what’s everyone bringing to the party? I have a pineapple and cheese hedgehog

Summer Sundays are for swimming at Thorndon Pool. The weirdest part, I hated morning swimming lessons at Thorndon Pool when I was at Wellington Girls

Be good to share a pic. I have a full on morning of shop restocking so that raspberry chocolate is going to help #SecretSantaAoNZ

Unwrapped- my trick to #SecretSantaAoNZ is having it in the bag for a few days and today opening it to enjoy the wrapped presents. Thanks santa

You will be visited by three spirits

A watched bank account never fill up with your fornightlight consignment sales payment - oh how i wish it did but look at this, I realised something magnificent over the weekend 25 years since I sold at my very first Craft Fairs Bitchcraft in November 2005 and Thorndon Fair in December 2005

It’s Heeeeere. Thank you Santa #SecretSantaAoNZ

Not Hard at all for me - This shoulda won the oscar Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar
