Healthy Home Survey
Hi All !!!! :)
I am Nipuni Wimalasena, a PhD student at the University of Auckland.
I would like to invite you to participate in an online "Healthy Homes" survey. New Zealand’s existing housing stock is subject to rapid ageing and deterioration due to a low replacement rate and a lack of maintenance. Poor housing conditions likely pose potential harm to the health of household occupants. Each year more than 20 children in New Zealand are died by respiratory diseases such as asthma, wheeze, pneumonia and bronchiolitis, which are linked to unhealthy housing.
This survey gathers your knowledge about the property you live in, as well as your perspective about how housing-related factors may cause medical/health problems of you and your family. The survey is being conducted by a research group at the University of Auckland to understand how we can develop housing solutions and alternatives to those health-related issues.
We are seeking for Aucklanders to participate in this anonymous survey and appreciate your kind support and participation. This will take 15 minutes of your time. Your response will be confidential and anonymous. The survey is approved by the University of Auckland Human Participation Committee with reference number 021180.
Your participation in the study is highly valued. Thank you for your attention and time.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
