Broken - NOT WORKING
Bought this treadmill second hand a few years ago and it was working fine but didn't really use it much. Haven't used it in a while and now it has stopped working, assume a fuse or wire has come loose after I moved it.
Will need to be checked by a qualified repairer.
Pickup in Green Bay.
It folds up and has wheels so is relatively easy to move, but it is quite heavy so will need two people to lift it and you will need a van or big ute.

New Zealand First and the Green Party voted for the Bill."This Government believes that New Zealanders should not be outbid by wealthier foreign buyers," Associate Finance Minister David Parker said at the time."Whether it’s a beautiful lakeside or oceanfront estate, or a modest suburban house, this law ensures that the market for our homes is set in New Zealand not on the international market."But Property Institute CEO Ashley Church believes it will do nothing to reduce house prices."The evidence is, across the Tasman and other parts of the world, that the imposition of foreign buyers bans… have made virtually no difference to those markets either. In fact Mr Church believes the ban could have an adverse effect on the New Zealand economy as the country has previously welcomed foreign investment."That's not necessarily going to be the case going forward and that's a retrograde step for our economy as a country that needs foreign investment and needs money to come from other parts of the world. There will be exemptions for people from Australia and Singapore.

Ritchies Murphy and Pavlovich drivers will walk off the job for 24 hours from 4am on Tuesday until 4am on Wednesday. First Union said drivers are frustrated because there are no regulations limiting the cuts to pay and allowances such as overtime and sick leave. Bus drivers are not being treated as people who have lives outside of work, First Union divisional secretary Jared Abbott said. "Bus drivers are not given the same everyday rights most of us have; like being able to spend time with family, have a hobby, or to have downtime to socialise and be an active member of their communities. "They can't afford to pay bills and things like going to the movies and holidays are just not even considered," he said. The union said Auckland's Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM) has created a race to the bottom on wages for companies tendering for bus routes. It contends the PTOM is defunct because there are no regulations limiting the cuts to pay and allowances such as overtime and sick leave. Abbott said Auckland Transport and Auckland Council need to be aware of the issues surrounding the PTOM. "Industrywide standards would clean up the calamity that is the bus system in New Zealand. Honestly, while there are quite different issues in different regions it's safe to say it's absolute chaos everywhere, we need to be listened to this time. "That's why drivers are calling for a Fair Pay Agreement not only in Auckland, but countrywide to drastically improve the lives of hundreds of hard-working New Zealanders," he said. Outside of Auckland, Go Bus drivers in the Waikato will strike from 5am until 9pm on Tuesday.

Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!
About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.
What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!
