Not all of them explicitly state the bed will be shared, although many feature only photos of one bed and no room for another while asking for people to share a room. One ad lays it all out though, explaining that for $150 per week a (male) flatmate could share a double bed with another person.
"Two bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms. Double bedroom to share with a male student. There is one double bed to be shared with other person." The apartment does not allow smokers or pets. Renters advocacy group Renters United spokesperson Robert Whitaker told Newshub the group has not been made aware of the issue of bed sharing, but he was not surprised. "It reflects the continued pressure that the private rental sector is under. For the last decade renters have been forced to absorb the problems that our out of control housing market created, with more and more overcrowding as renters try to meet the escalating cost of renting by squeezing more and more people into their houses. "Lounges are turned into bedrooms, bedrooms become shared and eventually, inevitably, strangers are forced to share beds." Mr Whitaker said overcrowding in housing comes with its own risks including aiding the spread of various diseases and contributing the extra dampness in the home. Fixing the situation is going to be a lot of work though. "We need a lot more stable and affordable housing built across the market," Mr Whitaker said. "We need more public housing for those on low incomes and owner-occupied housing for those on middle incomes to reduce the pressure on the private rental sector, but that will take time to have an effect. "In the meantime, we need renting to be more stable and affordable so people aren't forced into overcrowded homes just to make ends meet."

The new generation of rechargeable hearing aids means the days of having to remember to change the battery before we go out to that important meeting or dinner or having the hearing aid stop half way through the wedding are a thing of the past.
The new rechargeable systems have up to two days’ use in a single charge, a “battery pack” that gives you two extra charges if you happen to be away from home (and the charger) and the battery life is 3-5 years minimum.
Because of our independence at Audiology Associates we have access to all the current manufacturers of Liion technology and help you get the system that suits your needs as well as your budget

The family was filmed outside a Te Rapa, Hamilton Burger King today where they were being spoken to by police and Immigration. A spokesperson for Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has now confirmed that the family was issued with a deportation notice over the Burger King incident. "INZ can confirm that Deportation Liability Notices (DLN) were served on individuals involved in the incident at Burger King in Hamilton today. "Section 157(5) of the Immigration Act 2009 provides for temporary visa holders to be issued with a DLN on a number of grounds, including matters relating to character," Peter Devoy, Assistant General Manager of INZ says. The notices mean the family have 28 days to appeal their deportation. One of the family members told 1 NEWS reporter Paul Hobbs the family plan on leaving the country tomorrow. Earlier, the family denied any wrongdoing, saying they are the ones who have been poorly treated during their trip to New Zealand.

Should public transport be free for under-15s, and secondary and tertiary students?
Auckland councillor Chris Darby has asked the city's transport agency to explore the cost of scrapping public transport fares for young people in Auckland.
"If you change travel habits at an early age, you can create public transport users over a very long period," he said.

The perception of lawn bowls being a sport for old people is a fallacy. More young people are playing the sport at all levels than ever before. Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.

Bowls is truly a sport that anyone can play on equal terms regardless of age, gender or physical ability and with clubs throughout Auckland running social bowling events through summer there is no excuse for you not to get out into summer and have a go!
