Stuff, “Website of the Year”

Miriam from Ngaio

I have to really question what Stuff’s agenda is when these contributions are ridiculously inaccurate and just unbelievable. For example, the woman who skips meals so her kids eat also puts Sky down as a necessity that comes before buying food (?!), plus her partner supposedly pays over 40% in tax. The 3 person family that are “barely scraping by” admit they have an income of almost $100000 (and don’t live in Auckland). The 3rd article contains no facts or figures but bags the newly elected Labour government for all their issues. Have a read and let me know what you think Stuff is up to and whether they are worthy winners of “website of the year”.

Fresh to the market, 64 Madras Street is the perfect starter.

This superbly located 2 double bedroomed 1950s home with study/office ticks all the boxes for those looking to get on the property ladder. Rewired, replumbed with roof and underfloor insulation means the fundamentals are taken care off. Drive on access to single garaging makes the transporting the groceries nice and easy.

Gas heating will keep you warm in the winter, whilst in the summertime you'll enjoy the separate living/entertaining area with French doors accessing a deck which soaks up the sunshine. Nestled below street level on a sizable section in amongst native trees and bush.

Our owners have moved on leaving their vacant two-bedroom home to be SOLD.
