Poll: Should we have a four-day work week?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2018, a NZ company trialled the four-day week and claimed a 20% increase in productivity, encouraging them to make the change permanent. A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?

2007 Daihatsu Sirion, tidy reliable second car for sale

Tats from Papatoetoe

Sought after, tidy non-smoking car for sale. Always been a very reliable little car for me and cheap to run.

Sought after, tidy non-smoking car for sale. Always been a very reliable little car for me and cheap to run.

Has a new WOF done less than a month ago (on the 28 April 2023).
New parts repaired for $1190 NZD including brakes, suspension arm with ball joint brushes, wheel alignment, park light and a lamp polish.

Regularly serviced with oil & filter change (last service October 2022). A new battery and a set of tires in 2021 (covid restrictions back then, so still a fair bit of tread on).
Rego is due December 2023.

It's a reluctant decision to sell as it was always my second car and is not really needed. The reason for selling is that I have to make a budget for more regular overseas travel to Europe for family reasons to provide support after my mother's recent passing.

Happy to accept a reasonable offer. I have nothing to hide and sell as it is in normal condition for its age. The interior is clean (photos let assume stains and specks but its free of any). I have been looking after the car and hope it finds a good home soon. Great first learner's car, easy ride around the city and fits in all small parking lots.

Located in Papatoetoe/Manukau and can meet for genuine viewing prior to serious purchase intent. The outer body has some normal wear and tear as you would expect for its age. No time wasters please. This is a good car, runs well, and is reliable and economical. Please note: I am not desperate and won't let it go to low unreasonable offers. No money owing. Offers around $4800 (negotiation)

Price: $4,800

1:40PM UPDATE: Bridge now reopened but with limited lanes.
_______________________________________
Waka Kotahi shared that the Auckland Harbour Bridge is now closed to both northbound and southbound traffic as of 1:10PM due to weather.

Damaging gales were predicted to blow up to 110km/h, while strong wind watches are in place for nearly the entire North Island.

MetService said the gales could cause power cuts in Northland, Auckland and Waikato, with the highest winds on westerly coastlines likely to down trees.

What you need to know:
- The Harbour Bridge is closed due to high gust winds.
- Vehicles needing to travel should detour via the Western Ring Route (SH18/SH16) at this time.
