Property Investors.

Diane from Pukekohe

Just to let everyone know that these money grabbing people are still operating, in Botany at present.
We went and had a look at a three bedroom house today, on a very small section, that was auctioned a couple of weeks ago, in Dairyland Drive. When I asked the agent what price had it been passed in at auction, I thought it hadn't sold, as it was listed the next day with a "by negotiation" on it, he said it had been sold at auction for one million and eighty thousand, bought by an investor, who then put it straight back on to the market, and was wanting around one million, two hundred thousand for it.
Not a thing had been done to it, and it needed new paint and wallpaper, and landscaping. So for the politicians to say it is not the Chinese investors putting the prices up, that is a load of bull, this is just one example of it happening, and it is about time that one party had the guts to say enough!!!!!!!!, this is what is making it so hard for born and bred N.Z.ers to be able to buy a home, and I for one will vote for that party if it ever happens, and I won't hold my breath!!!!!!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Boundaries of Adaptation - An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Boundaries of Adaptation
An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova
28 February - 18 March
Community Gallery Space - Franklin Arts Centre

Opening Event: Saturday 28 February, 10am

Adaptation is often understood as the ability to adjust to an environment, to accept its conditions and become less visible within it. In this body of work, the focus shifts to a different moment, the point at which adaptation reaches its limit and begins to form a boundary.

This boundary is not a gesture of refusal or isolation. It appears as a need to define how interaction with the outside world takes place. Not to shut it out, but to stay in contact while maintaining a sense of stability. Here, the boundary is not an opposition, but a way of reaching agreement.

The works take the form of wall-mounted sculptural objects, where the boundary becomes material and physically present. Within these objects, it is expressed through weight, density, surface, and tension of form, shifting from an abstract idea into a direct experience.
