I'm having difficulties with staffing, it's been a continual issue for the past year. I am 22 hours short of staff for Term 3 even though I had hired another 4 staff members! I have a 5 day a week job for 22 hours at a minimum, does anyone know of anyone who is a swim instructor looking for a job?

If you're not registered to vote, or if you feel disenfranchised about the system enough that you don't feel your vote will count, I get it, but please know it really will. Just the act of you registering or going to vote is showing the vulnerable people around you that you care. (3)

Hipkiss: You tell us how to lose some jobs of your colleagues, maybe do yourself out of a job [..] bring in AI, streamline the tasks, do a merger, [..] carry on doing the work youâre doing, do it really well for less money? Willis: Thatâs right.

Our acting Prime Minister. He continues to bully anyone who disagrees with the Bill, and to an extent putting them in danger. He is unfit to lead. Shame on him. Shame on this government.

"The Tribunal has said stop. If the government ignores that, they're not just breaching the Treaty they're declaring war on it. The real fantasy is Seymour thinking he can erase MÄori rights without a fight."
