Opportunity for local 18-24 year olds
Kia ora - I’m directing a factual video series for social media called d8talk, which takes a look at the youth dating experience in New Zealand by speaking with real 18-24 year olds. We’re currently on the search for 40 participants to speak with in front of the camera. We'll be releasing this project across social media in 2025 as 250+ short episodes.
We’re offering a one-off opportunity for regular New Zealanders - an individual and private interview with us for about an hour in mid-November, in a studio in Auckland (with agreed travel and accommodation covered if selected participants reside outside Auckland) and a $250 Prezzy Card as a thank you. We’re encouraging everyone to apply who has stories to tell in the context of the Aotearoa dating scene.
This opportunity is for 18-24 year olds. Please spread the word! Apply or learn more at www.d8talk.nz...
Thank you ❤️🔥
Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
