Merry Christmas, everyone!

Wishing you a day full of joy, good food, and great company. Hope you’re all making the most of the holiday season. Take care and have an awesome day!

 

So, we're preventing Kiwis from fishing here to protect declining fish stocks, yet commercial fishing is still allowed to operate in the same area?

Under the Holidays act

Annual holidays

All employees become entitled to 4 weeks annual holidays (annual leave) after 12 months of continuous employment.

It was the live announcement url, Looks like they use the same url for other live broadcasts, I have updated it now.

What's your opinion on the Holidays act moving to an Hours based accrual System?

"Hours-based accrual has the potential to achieve a much greater focus on simplicity. “While shifting to hours-based accrual may require drafting a fundamentally different Bill, I believe investing the time and effort to do this will deliver superior improvements to both employers and employees."

Racing Minister Winston Peters has announced the Government’s plans to end greyhound racing in New Zealand.

“This is not a decision that is taken lightly but is ultimately driven by protecting the welfare of racing dogs,” the Minister said in an announcement at the Beehive on Tuesday afternoon.

 

A Head Hunters gang associate was arrested on Thursday morning, and a rifle was thrown from a car, when police descended on him.

Footage of the arrest showed the 31-year-old man driving erratically on grass before the car stopped.

A man outside the car then reached in, pulled out the rifle and threw it into nearby bushes.

The driver got out of the car and knelt down as police arrested him on serious charges after his alleged reckless driving played out across Auckland overnight.

I agree, I voted yes to legalize and believe it should be legalized. It wasn't the best comparison just the the first thing I thought of related to sentences for abuse of the drugs Act.

[–] GGNZ 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You're right; drug addiction should indeed be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal one. However, his sentence was for possessing a significant amount of methamphetamine (Class A) and drug paraphernalia.

I know people who received similar sentences for having only a few ounces of marijuana (Class C) for personal use along with a utensil, though this was some years ago.

 

I admit I’m not sure what the typical charges are for possessing 37g of meth, but this seems incredibly low.

 

How do you feel about Prime Minister Luxon using a back entrance to avoid protesters? Was this a practical decision for safety, or does it suggest a lack of courage in leadership?"

I don't think its very common in the US but The pōhutukawa tree

The pōhutukawa tree is a special part of New Zealand culture, often called the "New Zealand Christmas tree" because of its bright red flowers that bloom in December. It’s seen as a symbol of strength and resilience, especially since it grows along rugged coastlines. For Māori, it has deep spiritual meaning—there's even an ancient pōhutukawa at Cape Reinga where spirits are believed to begin their journey to the afterlife. Plus, it’s great for the environment, providing food and shelter for native birds and insects.

It depends where you live, Here pay $45usd for unlimited 1Gb/500Mbps Fibre and it is truly unlimited (usually 15-20Tb a month) and  $35usd for unlimited 5G tho it's throttled abit after 60Gb.

I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren't being paid enough, that's an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on.

What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?

Folks, the oil depot in Proletarsk is burning, and it's absolutely fantastic! Tremendous flames, just incredible. Let's hope it keeps burning for a long time—some say it could be one of the biggest, most beautiful fires we've ever seen. And you know what? I'm all for it! This fire is doing great things, believe me.

Thanks, I don't use chrome either, I wonder if I can use 'http shortcut', I should look into it.

[–] GGNZ 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I tried Linkwarden about a year ago and really liked it, but I chose Linkding instead because I couldn't find a way to add bookmarks on Android via 'share'. For Linkding, I used the 'HTTP Shortcut' app to achieve this.

I will check out the update

I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.

The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.

I think OP is talking about this.

Edit.

This image from 'The Mad Butcher' includes the breading ingredients.
