I want my library i want my carnival and i want the rugby as well
i'm mostly apathetic about the rugby but i know loads of people who are not and making this a rugby vs carnival fight seems a waste of time.here's the thing sponsorship from anywhere at the moment is super super hard to find.
and honestly i bet many a brand would be thinking their money was better spent on the rugby as it's a national event rather than something that is local.
I would like to see the carnivals applications
i would like to know where council is spending sponsorship money
and I'm looking forward to asking questions of local body politicians come election season -
if people are thinking what to do with helping
In wellington please donate books to the DCM bookfair
and also go to the bookfair in august and buy books to replace those gaps in your bookcase from the books you no longer wanted. -
it's my understanding tuhoe accepted money from crown for lake waikaremoana 3 times, 1919, 1940 and then in the 60s or 70s.
Easy. If I owe you a million bucks, but I tell you all I'm going to give you is $100, take it or leave it, maybe you'd take it but keep coming back too. It's not a negotiation between equally powerful parties, so one solution for the weaker party is to keep chipping away.
You are basing that on the assumption the money paid was unfair
what if it wasn't?what I'm trying to say is that nobody knows the full detailed history. What if in the 60s tuhoe was paid a fair amount for the time for the lake? how does that colour the conversation?

So where does that fit in with everything?

towns like Palmerston north even have their own sub culture, the ag tech man
= swandri, gumboots and very short shorts
this was a type pretty much everyone avoided, becuase they always smelt of cow poo -
There's definitely a story there. I do sometime feel that there are a lot of sick people who need to harden up a bit.
yes becuase being a sickness or invalids beneficiary is sooo much fun. Trust me it is not a ticket to great money, it is not an easy life and the stigma of being on a benefit is horrible to live with and is a harder life than having a job.
I know i am on an invalids befit
For me and the majority of others it's not even that we can't find a job (which is hard enough for people able to work) it's that we are not even well enough to work. I would give anything to be able to hold down a regular 9 -5 job, but i can't even hold down a 10 hour a week job.
and god knows I've tried, I've tried so many times and failed. Each time i had to resign or was asked to consider my position becuase my health was not up to working i felt like i was loosing a little bit of myself.
And being unable to work is not where it starts and finishes. Being that ill throws everything down the drain, you spend your money on doctors instead of going out. You don't see friends becuase you can't afford simple things that most people take for granted like going out for lunch or dinner or a drink.
You treasure the friends who are understanding enough to stay in your life when you have to cancel hanging out with them all the time becuase you are not feeling so well.
You fight to find a sense of purpose or point in the world where the first question people normally ask is so what do you do? If you are brave enough to admit being on a benefit of any kind you can 9 times out of 10 be guaranteed to stop a conversation flat.
Yes it's a free ride being on an invalids benefit.
I fill in all my forms every year, I declare any bit of income or any few hours I work and am happy to have my befit lowered for that week or month or on a regular basis becuase it means i might not be dependent on the system in the future.
I see a case manger at winz every year (it's never the same person)
who checks all my forms and questions me on my health.Every 2 years i have forms filled out by my GP saying i can't work. I used to have to see a winz approved doctor for that. I'm not sure why that rule changed maybe national decided to cut costs becuase winz couldn't afford all the doctors bills?
If anything dealing with the system (which at one point canceled my benefit becuase my case manager lost my files) and being on an invalids benefit has forced me to harden up a hell of a lot more than when i was working.
You don't hear the stories of those of us who play by the rules, becuase it doesn't make headlines, it's not news. But we are the silent majority. We also don't speak up becuase what if doing so might risk loosing our benefit.
oh yes and the best part at winz we have to sit in a separate waiting area from the seniors and if you dare sit in the wrong section, you get asked to move.
