Poll: With Auckland back in alert level 3 lockdown, are you becoming more complacent when it comes to following the rules?

Kiwis may become complacent and start to ignore government guidance if lockdowns become more frequent, according to experts.

Auckland moved back into a week-long level 3 lockdown on Sunday after two fresh community cases of Covid-19 were discovered.

But University of Auckland associate professor Susanna Trnkaโ€‹ says if people no longer feel a sense of urgency they will be less compelled to follow the rules.

"During the first lockdown it was understood that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,โ€ the social anthropologist said.

"But as it becomes lockdown two, three and four, the sense of the urgency has shifted and isn't so palpable."

Senior lecturer Sarah Cowie, who is an expert on psychology and behaviour, said it was "certainly a possibility" that people could become more complacent during recurring lockdowns.

โ€œThere's evidence from places overseas that have been flung in and out of lockdown that people do become a little bit more complacent the more you have,โ€ she said.

โ€œIf we are doing things in line with level 3 and not seeing the benefits of that, it might feel discouraging."

Buying by tender: Did you write a letter?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Hi folks,

Hi folks,
My colleague Jo is writing a story about buying by tender, specifically, the new trend of writing letters to the vendor to explain why they should pick your offer over all the rest.
As the market gets harder and harder to break into, we've been hearing more and more about people trying to make a personal connection with vendors to give their tender offers the edge. We've heard folks will include personal details about their family, why the love the house and what their plans for the property are.
Jo would love to talk to anyone who's written a letter like this to accompany a tender - perhaps it's you, perhaps a relative or friend - or from vendors who've received letters like this, accompanying a tender.
Perhaps you asked for such letters?
We'd love to hear more about that experience for you and how it shaped the way the sale went.
You can reach out to jo here (she'll be joining the Neighbourly neighbourhood soon!) or via our email: homed@stuff.co.nz.
Looking forward to hearing your stories.

She wears black. Always. As it turns out, death was not the end of her story. Chapter three.

โ€œMum died today.โ€ Now, I knew this woman (the dead one) and, for all of her idiosyncrasies, she wasnโ€™t really the dying kind. โ€œWhat? How?โ€. โ€œDunno yet, but sheโ€™s been shipped off to the coroner so I guess weโ€™ll find out.โ€
There are people to call. She tries holding back tears, although the odd one slips out. She calls her brother. It is the first day of duck shooting and he has his phone off. So, the call goes out - โ€œI need him.โ€ โ€œMum diedโ€. He was on the phone ten minutes later. โ€œWhat happened? Are you sure sheโ€™s dead?โ€ to which Penny replies โ€œWell, Iโ€™ve been here for twenty minutes and she hasnโ€™t offered me a drink yet.โ€ This elicits a laugh. Warmth. They both feel stronger. For now...
