I have been sick over the weekend and still feeling a little unwell today. I called in sick this morning and my work said I need to provide a medical certificate. I'm a bit stuck though as I phoned up my doctor and they said they are unable to see me today as they have no appointments available, they also said I don't need a medical certificate for a single day.

So what can I do? I need one for work but the doctor won't give me one 😕

(I have athsma, so what's just a small cough for you is a bigger problem for me)

I don’t go to the doctor that often but do manage a couple of minor health conditions.

I made an appointment today and was pretty shocked by the whole process. 15 minutes of hold music I finally speak to a receptionist who very heavily tries to discourage me from seeing the doctor but rather seeing a nurse or making an online appointment. In this case I know what I need and neither of those work. She then asked me some pretty personal questions about my requirements!? I have never had to detail this to a receptionist before. Finally she agreed to make an appointment earliest bring 5 weeks away.

She was fine and I got the result in the end but it really made me think about people that don’t know what they need or, not as confident or intimidated by the whole process. This would be a huge barrier to them actually seeking medical treatment.

Is this where we are now? Is this a similar process at your doctors? It’s pretty scary.

It seems like every few weeks there is a new immigration scam going on. I don't think these are unusual incidents by irrational actors but rather the tip of the iceberg. Since NZ has setup the perfect environment to exploit the system then fraud is par for the course as it's rational to do so when the upside is bigger than the risk.

1. Why are visas still tied to a particular employer? This is a slippery slope into pseudo-slavery.

2. Why are so many allowed in? The amount of population growth coming out of some larger countries like India is orders of magnitude larger than our own. Often they have a hustle culture of bribery or stepping on others to move up. Without severe limits on migration NZ can easily change beyond recognition.

3. Why is NZ not getting more money from this? If NZ is going to sell out for 'GDP growth' we should just auction off the damn visas. People are willing to pay $50k to a middleman or some fake 'business school' and that's money NZ could be having. The middlemen have been taking the piss out of NZ for far too long with their shams.

4. Why are the punishments for exploitation so weak? For example Jafar Kurisi got a slap on the wrist and then went on to reoffend.

5. Why are there no political options to vote against it. National and Act I can understand they represent rent seeking landlords but the other parties should be hard against this kind of low skill immigration because it 1) undermines kiwi wages 2) acting as a pressure relief valve for overpopulated countries increases the planets population which is terrible for the environment 3) undermines our social trust bringing in people for whom bribery is normal.

It's been a while since this was posted. It's good to know your rights.

A fixed-term tenancy becomes a periodic one, unless you agree with your landlord on another fixed-term contract. Your tenancy won't end, your landlord can't just boot you out when the contract ends. It does mean your landlord can give notice to end the tenancy if they have a good reason: selling, moving in, or violence.

My employer has announced an extended shut down period over the Christmas break, citing finacial reasons. Interestingly, over the last 12 months alone, the company has made several acquisitions to 'strengthen' their marketshare.

Normally the company will shut from 24th Dec to the end of the 1st week of Jan, which roughly equates less than 60 of our allocated 160 hours annual leave. This year's shut down, 13th Dec to 13th Jan will force employees to use 128 hours of the 160.

This will leave 32 hours or 4 days to use for the remaining 11 months. So 4 days over 11 months for emergencies and preventing burn out.

I'm full time and not part of a union. Is it legal to force employees to use 80% of their leave in one hit?

Cheers

This is the final location she transmitted from, according to the marine tracker website:

It does seem plausible that the ship lost power, as there are apparently reports that the ship was seen drifting before it ran on to the reef.

Land based photos also indicate strong onshore winds, which would have pushed against Manawanui's tall surface area like a sail into the reef.

Usually when a power outage occurs, the anchors are dropped to secure the vessel - but the coastal waters around the island are very deep, preventing this measure leaving the Manawanui adrift and at the mercy of the wind & waves.

If this was the case, it would have given the crew very little time to save the ship
