Casual Worker wanted
Testing Centre Administer (TCA)
Currently we are looking for a casual TCA who would be able to work during the week. They would be required to do a 3 hour shift, mainly on a Tuesday, to cover lunch breaks, and also any other week day when staff are required. This would also cover any sick days and any staff holidays. You would receive a monthly roster, a month in advance, and should be able to come in to cover at short notice.
Because the position is quite complex you would need to come in to do 3-4 training sessions and be able to complete a test in February 2023. (We would help you with this.).
The tests that we administer require different procedures and various security measures need to be undertaken. We work under strict conditions and are under video surveillance at all times. This means no phones, tablets, computers, books or anything to that takes your attention away from focusing on the cameras or completing the security procedures.
This job takes a lot of patience, perseverance and hospitality towards our candidates. You will also need to pass a Police Clearance Report
We are situated in Mt Albert, near the St Lukes off ramp and have ample free parking. Western Line trains are a 5-8 mins walk, buses are also suitably close.
If you know of anyone can you please get them to get in touch with me. This could suit someone retired/semi retired who wants to earn a little extra and any gender may apply.
Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
