I feel such a stupid idiot, because I see that I, non IT person, has bought the ZIP Cleaner..........and will contact the seller with much gratitude. When I saw the Ad, there was a msg saying 'marked as sold', or something similar, so non IT Avryll thought it was to someone else...Oh Gosh, now I feel less than the smallest crumb.
I will contact the seller, but still think that the contact details should be with the Squares, because I would never think to look further down for further details........Will stick to gardening today, so much safer......

Are you past landing a job at 55? The reality of ageism despite labour shortages

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From reporter Amanda Cropp:

For older job-seekers like Christine Black, the low unemployment rate has improved her odds of getting an interview.

The 61-year-old accountant recently got shortlisted for a call centre job, an improvement on five years ago when she applied for the same position and didn’t get a look in.

Being asked if you have any health issues or told you are over-qualified, (which she was for the call centre position), can be shorthand for “you’re too old,” and Black says ageism is still a problem.

“Somebody said to me ‘your life experience exceeds our expectations’ ... I know a lot of under-employed women between 50 and 65.”

A third of the workforce is over the age of 55, and the proportion working past retirement age has risen steadily.

In 2008, 15% of those aged 65-plus were employed, compared with just over 25% in 2022.

According to Stats NZ forecasts, by 2043 the labour force will have up to 386,000 people aged 65-plus, almost double the number in 2020.

The Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, and unless it is a genuine qualification for a job – such as bar work – it can be unlawful for an employer to ask your age in a job interview.

Given the Auckland situation, does anyone know if we have any restrictions on the area of a property that can be covered, that is building, roads, driveway, paths Swimming pools, tennis courts etc
The more surface area covered, the less area there is for rain water to drain away naturally, as opposed to having to use the storm water system which probably will not be able to cope much longer, definately if we get some of the Auckland rain.
High density housing would fall into this category as some of those have no exposed soil.
People can also seal or concrete the whole of the property, so all their ground rain water will run off into next door maybe.
