Room available in mount roskill

Alyssa from Mount Roskill

Short term room available November 14th onwards. Price is $330 a week (or $165 each for a couple)
I’m moving out of our flat on Hillsborough road, Mt Roskill as my university studies come to an end. Looking for a couple to take over my part of the lease until mid Feb 2024! Queer friendly 🏳️‍🌈 and must be okay with cats.
There are 3 people living in the house aged 20-21. Would prefer people around the same age, but not a necessity if you fit the vibe!!

Little bit about the flat
- two stories, 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms.
- Large bedroom fitting a queen bed, 2 desks and a shelf comfortably. The room also comes with a double closet! The room will come completely unfurnished. It’s $330 per week for a couple + flat bills (water, power, wifi etc)
- rest of the flat comes furnished!
- There’s a big downstairs area which is unfurnished. Includes a bar room.
- there is a spare bedroom so you’re welcome to have guests stay.
- Garage park provided with a remote. The garage has internal access to the house. There is one other off street park in the driveway. Plenty of street parking also.
- Huge backyard and amazing view of the city
- Direct 30 min bus into the city, bus stop just a short 2 minute walk away.

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
