Would you be willing to take part in some research about housing?
Victoria University is seeking research participants to take part in interviews about housing preferences and experiences of medium density housing. The research findings will be used to contribute to the improvement of medium density housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We are interested in interviewing both residents and non-residents of medium density housing, and we would like to interview both Māori and non-Māori research participants. Participants will be selected based on demographic criteria.
The interview will take approximately 45-60 minutes.
Interview participants will receive a $25 supermarket voucher.

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.4% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.1% No, I enjoy it
-
1.4% Other - I'll share below
