3 teacup trios, the Royal Albert one is apparently hard to come by but has some staining and 2 of them have hairline cracks, all very pretty trios though. Pickup only from Blockhouse Bay
3 buckets of excess paint, 2 pale greys and a bright blue. We used the bright blue to paint a feature wall and its just been sitting around gathering dust since then.

Figures released show that just over 8000 Australians became New Zealand citizens in 2019, either because they had a parent who is a citizen or they migrated to New Zealand. The United Kingdom comes second, with 6050 new Kiwis, followed by India, with over 4600 people.

The United Kingdom comes second, with 6050 new Kiwis, followed by India, with over 4600 people. DIA General Manager (Services and Access) Jeff Montgomery said that there are various ways people can become citizens, apart from those born in New Zealand.
“People can become citizens ‘by descent,’ which means they have a parent who was born in New Zealand or ‘by grant,’ when they migrate to New Zealand and apply for citizenship. In 2019, we gained 44,413 new foreign-born Kiwis, 13,383 by descent and 31,030 by grant. We also welcomed 60,000 people who were born here,” he said.
Mr Montgomery said that the number of people gaining citizenship by grant has been declining over the past few years. In 2018, the number of people gaining citizenship by grant was 35,737 people, down from 36,450 people in 2017.
Online applications
================
The key trend in 2020 will be people applying for citizenship online. Mr Montgomery said the Department launched its online application service in October 2019, with restricted availability. “We look forward to extending it to most other people soon. Since launching this service, more than 1600 people have applied. Online applications are the way of the future as they make things very easy for those applying. “Regardless of how people become citizens, they can check their eligibility online from anywhere in the world,” he said.
By the numbers
=============
Total new citizens by descent or grant for 2019: 44,413 (2018: 49,428)
By descent in 2019: 13,383 (2018: 13,691)
By grant in 2019: 31,030 (2018: 35,737)

Hi everyone.
I have an Aunty coming to stay from Australia and am looking for a walker with a seat. Does anyone have one for sale at a reasonable price?
Thanks Vanessa

The noise pollution from this can be very annoying, especially on days like Christmas Day when we should be able to expect a bit of peace and quiet. It's almost become like living near an airport. Sometimes it flies over 10 or more times in one day including up to 3.30 am or later. I don't remember any consultation over this new flight path and the resulting effect on our property values!
