It is an oldie but where was this?

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.
CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Hohepa Thompson has been putting a sticker saying ‘'rāpihi'’ - the reo word for rubbish on a bin outside his gallery.
Thompson says his stickers are part of a community initiative to encourage the use of te reo, and he’s fed up with people offended by that, even if they’re in the minority.
The stickers have been ripped off on three or four different occasions and Thompson says he’s confronted the person he believes did it. The issue had prompted him to launch a new exhibition for next month to prompt korero about racism/kaikiritanga. It’s called Rāpihi, and he says “all racists are welcome”.

Three tools have been trialled or used by Police to search publicly available information during investigations, but they will not reveal which ones.
Some of these have sparked controversy overseas, including one tool that was used to track Black Lives Matter protesters or monitor electronic chatter.
Police Commissioner Andrew Coster has defended using these digital tools, and faced criticism for it, with digital rights groups worried online surveillance is escalating.
Auckland technologist Andrew Chen has argued police need to more transparent when deploying a tool and its justification.
Police said the 2020 stocktake was a "snapshot" only and was only revealing what it could to build public confidence.

I need a desktop/laptop/mini/whatever PC with a 750+GB HDD. SSD or Platter, it doesn't matter (unintended rhyme).
Happy to pay a few bucks for it and collect anywhere in Kapiti.
Does anyone have an unwanted chicken house (just the house)? Just the house, already have the run.
Many thanks.
