I recently had issues with my Huge NZ Corporation account and so have been exchanging emails.

In a reply to me, they attached someone else's bill complete with their names, address, phone number, services provided, costs, and so on. I told them about this and asked whether they considered this a notifiable breach, what their processes were for dealing with privacy breaches, and how they would ensure it didn't happen again.

Two days later I got a reply. They apologised and said they'd removed the other person's bill from our exchanges and told their manager about the mistake. They also said it had been several years since they'd last made that mistake so I didn't have to worry about its b

I'm hoping someone here can help.

John has a restricted licence and lives with his unlicensed sister, Julie. John has been able to take Julie as a passenger because she's been on the JobSeeker allowance. (Exceptions to the no passenger rule include "relatives that live with you and are on a social security benefit.")

However, Julie has just started uni study and is now on a student allowance, not JobSeeker. Is it still legal for John to drive Julie around on his restricted, under the social security benefit exception? Will this be an issue with John's insurance / violating the terms of his licence?

I cannot find a solid answer through Google or reading through various government site

Thanks to everyone for all the comments and ideas. They helped in our discussion with our lawyer Monday. We got a caveat registered on the new house. We had to push for it, as the lawyer didn't see that the vendors were doing anything deliberately.

Our solicitor went back to the vendors with this counteroffer:

1. our clients continue to pay the current rate of rent; and

2. the total rent sum paid by our client between 1 April 2025 and the settlement date shall be deducted from the purchase price.

We haven't had any response to that, but have confirmation they have applied for probate.

Yesterday we moved in, as per the settlement date in the contract. The agreement gave

Six weeks ago we bought a house with settlement on 1 April. Getting it to a livable condition and fixing some issues would take 3 weeks, so the S&P agreement included the clauses that the vendors would give us vacant possession on 10 March to allow us to do the work, and we would pay rent of $1250/week. There were issues with getting possession (due to the vendors) but they moved out and we began all the renovations and fixes on 13 March.

Two days ago the vendors' lawyer communicated that the vendors wanted to postpone settlement by 6 weeks and they would reduce the rent to $1000/week.

They actually cannot settle on the 1st, because one of the owners of the house passed away four weeks ag

I finally googled why I wasn't having any success adding one of the kids back to my family account after they changed phones. Evidently Family profiles is a feature that is no longer supported. Dammit. That was one of the key benefits of Uber for me - the (now "adult") kids could order transport as needed and I got points for their trips I paid for.

I know that I could add my credit card as a payment method on their Uber accounts and this may be what I end up doing. But I think I would lose the points associated with the trip, and if I'm paying, I want the reward points. Does anyone kn

I've seen a number of posts about this delay and I'd been in the same boat. I've got a registered company but it's just me. Today I got a call from the MSD (after an email a couple of days ago indicating there was a problem with matching information).

The issue seems to be that the application instructions this time said to use the business IRD number, but the first application in 2020 used the personal one. Thus the info didn't match. The person who called me was super nice and seemed a little frustrated at all the work they're having to do to get the personal IRD numbers.

So if your wage subsidy hasn't been paid yet and you've got your own business, it might just be that you followed di

I've got a trip to Wellington (from Auckland) planned in a couple of days. Normally I'd turn up to the airport 30 minutes before and it would be a totally routine thing... But obviously things aren't routine and I'm finding myself a little apprehensive about the logistics.

I'm planning to be there 60 minutes before the flight, with a mask to wear in the airport and on the plane and until I'm at my hotel.

Is that sufficient? Anything else I should be doing or planning for to make this smooth and safe for everyone? What is Auckland Airport like now?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a very good way to connect skills with needs, from kids homework help to business advice. And stay sane, for some of us.

My kid has an on campus component to the online diploma she's doing. She's capable of taking public transport, but I thought it might be possible that someone commutes to somewhere near there who would be willing to have a passenger (of course we would pay koha/petrol - is $15 reasonable per trip?).

(Starts at 9am each morning, finishes 3pm. Single trip offers welcome in either direction.)

Fingers crossed. 😊 Thanks!
