Looking for house to rent
Hello:
I am posting this on behalf of my husband's colleague who is here on a 3-year contract. They are looking for a 3-bedroom home to rent in Wellington. Here is their bio:
We are a German family of 4, mum Romy, Dad Mario, Elina 6 and Millie 1. We recently moved to New Zealand from Cambridge UK, where we lived for the last 3 years. We enjoy being away from home and thought why not moving to New Zealand whenever there would be an opportunity and here we are, enjoying our first few weeks very much. Mario works as a research fellow at GNS Science and VUW and Romy is currently at home until the girls are both settled in school and kindergarten. We are an open minded, easygoing and very social family and very experienced in renting homes, whoever is looking for nice tenants who will take good care of their home, will most probably be happy with us. :)

Please contact them directly if you have a property available or know someone who does. Thanks!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
