Kia ora neighbours,

Kāinga Ora has admitted it let one of its tenants down after she was forced to live in a car with her young son due to black mould in her home.

The tenant, who has name suppression, took the housing provider to the Tenancy Tribunal, claiming the house she lived in caused both her and her son to become sick.

She said she had no health issues before moving into the house on Harry Ward Place in West Auckland’s Henderson.

During the tenancy, she developed a runny nose, itchy eyes, cough, rash on her arms and legs, impetigo, skin infections and likely upper respiratory infections.

The tenant said her son, who was 3 at the time, was also hospitalised for a respiratory infection.

I used it a week ago to get my groceries and we are supposed to be in lockdown - LEVEL 4!!!
My diary is up to date, they can see that - for crying out loud!!!

Time to turn off the reminders for the diary.

Transport projects in Auckland have been given a $7.3 billion boost to be distributed over the next three years.

Major projects like the City Rail Link, Light Rail, Eastern Busway will be supported by the funds, as well highway upgrades and new walking and cycling connections.

It is part of a $24.3 billion transport package announced by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency on Tuesday.

Waka Kotahi spokesperson Steve Mutton said the funding will support growth with more accessible, sustainable travel options.

“Auckland is a world class city and it needs a world-class transport system that is safe and efficient to keep everyone moving as New Zealand’s largest city continues to grow,” he said.

Now this is a very interesting read, and I've just started (if you like this sort of stuff)
The comparison from then to now ... well read for yourselves.
Learning all about the percentages of beneficiaries (all levels) then and now, well I'd said not much has changed per capita.
Seeing the numbers from certain years, truly shows how the economy was or wasn't running dictated by events e.g. world wars.
It just shows that we really haven't learned a great deal over the years.
Just repeating or dressing up the same mistakes, when will we ever learn?
Anyway, for those who want to peruse though the yearbook, here's the link: www3.stats.govt.nz...

Photo 2: Freesia flowers.
Photo 3: Another daffodil, leaning against the fence with a slug in it you can't see. It got that way because I did the weeding a few days ago, and so the daffodil had nothing to prop it up. Some of the freesias are lying on the ground too, for the same reason.
Photo 4: Some more daffodils, little ones this time.
Photo 5: Red polyanthus.
Photo 6: Another little daffodil - standing up by itself, this time.
Photo 7: Blue daisies in my rose/geranium garden.
Photo 8: A couple of little swan plant flowers on one of my bushes! 😃
Photo 9: Rhubarb flowers. My rhubarb plant flowers prolifically. It also produces a lot of leaves and stems - I just harvested a bunch of stems from it the other day, and I am going to stew them up to eat on ice cream for dessert!!!!!!!! 😃 It tastes GREAT that way!!!!!!!!!!! 😃
Photo 10: Some of my cyclamens I just had to take a photo of.
Photos 11 & 12: A bumblebee climbing into my broadbean flowers I just had to take a photo of because it was so cute and cool. 😃
Photo 13: My red cyclamens I also just had to take a photo of. 😃
Photo 14: My osteospermum daisy plants by the landfill rubbish bin. 😃
Photo 15: My mint plant that's gone crazy what with all the rain.
Photo 16: My succulent garden - the best-looking of the lot.
Photo 17: My succulent begonia flowering.
Photo 18: My birdbath I just scrubbed out and refilled the other day - the pigeons love it so much it looks like it needs doing again. 😛 I hope you enjoyed looking at all these photos!!!!! 😃
