🙋🏽 Research study participants wanted 🙋🏽
If you're 18+ and experience stomach symptoms like nausea, bloating, reflux, or pain, the University of Auckland invites you to participate in our research.
Help us understand the connection between the body, mind, and stomach. The study involves a big sticker on your stomach that measures signals from your gut (like an ECG) plus a health watch and heart rate monitor. You'll spend 5 hours seated in a comfortable chair in the clinic, then wear the devices home for a day, and return them the next morning. The study takes place at the University of Auckland City Campus or a nearby clinic with free parking. As a thank you, we provide a $50 food or fuel voucher. You are not eligible if you are pregnant, lactating, or have very sensitive skin.

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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... 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?
-
80.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Carpet inspection needed
Hi
I've just had new carpet laid throughout my house. I'm not happy with the result, as pieces don't match where they should, and in a hallway there are 5 joins where should not have been more than two. The supplier says there's nothing wrong. I would like a professional carpet person to look at it for an independent assessment. Does anyone know of someone who could do this?
