Office desk for free
I have bought this desk in Trademe for $10 or so, about 2yrs ago. There are a couple of wear marks on it, and I had to refit two angle brackets between the side leg-plank and the back one. It has served me well during this time, but the one problem with it is the size: too big. I have already downsized to a smaller desk (with shelves above), and I've been trying to sell it for $5 in Trademe, to no avail. Dimensions are 1820x1100 (on the left side - must be 800-900 on the right).
Hence, this one goes for free to anyone interested. Pickup in Ellerslie. Visits can be arranged on request. Cheers, Alex
PS: Only the desk itself is being sold - no other items in the pictures are for sale.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
