What qualities are important in a partner and how did you meet your partner?

Brittany Keogh Reporter from North Harbour News

Hi neighbours, A survey of 2000 Kiwis has shown different generations place value different qualities when looking for love. Young adults, aged 16 to 34, ranked a sense of humour as the most important quality in a partner, where as most 55- to 64-year-olds viewed sharing values as more important … View moreHi neighbours, A survey of 2000 Kiwis has shown different generations place value different qualities when looking for love. Young adults, aged 16 to 34, ranked a sense of humour as the most important quality in a partner, where as most 55- to 64-year-olds viewed sharing values as more important than sharing a laugh together. Younger people were also more likely to judge potential partners on their looks and perhaps unsurprisingly, more likely to meet their significant other online. What do you think is the most important quality in a partner and how did you meet yours? Please write "NFP" if you don't want your comment to appear in stories.

Members of its youth advisory board, who are aged 14 to 24, are paid $173 per meeting, but a review has recommended the council raise their pay to match the rate of $250 per meeting, that members of other demographic panels get.

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

SOS button - Program this feature to enable one-touch activation. The phone will then make a call to your pre-programmed choice.
* Desktop charger cradle [as seen in phone. Red light when charging; green when finished] - or use the USB cable on its own.
* Pedometer.
* Bluetooth
- go hands-free in the car.
* Loudspeaker
* Whats App feature
* Facebook App
* Earbuds included. [I never use earbuds, so these are new and still in their plastic bag.
* Lanyard included. Handy if you are unwell or prone to falls. Wear around your neck
This phone is not available retail in New Zealand. I bought it in September last year in Melbourne, though it hasn't been used all of that time. Probably 4 months usage.
I look after my handsets and this one is in excellent order with no scratches, screen damage, or any faults. It hasn't been up to my ear as I always use speakerphone. Mocha Brown colour is a nice change from a black handset. Have thought about keeping it but I've gone back to using another handset and it's just sitting idle. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find the keypad excellent. Light and compact handset.

Phone Declan on 0224-773-772 for a quicker contact as I don't always get in for messages on here in a timely manner.

Price: $50
