Lots of electorates around NZ are still looking to fill roles in the voting places, as well as in the individual HQs.

Roles available include things like issuing votes on election day, issuing votes through the advanced voting period, counting the votes post election day, and logistics and supplies work at HQ.

These are paid roles, they are low-skill so suit people new to the workforce including older teenagers.

Each electorate manages their recruitment drives individually so some will be ahead of others in the process but we need hundreds of people to support the work of the Electoral Commission.

You can apply here.

The Electoral Commission is doing mass recruitment around the country to employ people to work in the voting places. There is paid work available for the advance voting period, for election day only (7 Nov), and counting work after the election.

Both the Northland and Whangarei electorates are looking for people. Check your electorate here, and apply based on your home electorate.

In other countries, FB Marketplace has a shipped listing option that basically works like TradeMe. FB collects the payment on behalf, and the seller can ship direct to customer. Random link that explains how it works.

No more negotiation via messages, or payment via bank transfer.

I got a notification today asking me to confirm my PayPal account associated with my marketplace profile, which makes me wonder if we will be getting this feature soon? Anyone got the inside scoop?

If so, RIP TradeMe.

For the many young Kiwis living and working abroad, your pension entitlement might not be on your radar.

It's important to know, there is a minimum period of NZ residence required to be eligible, and this may be subject to change again in the future. Current requirement for those born after 1 July 1977 is:

You'll need to have lived in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau (or a combination of these) for 20 years since age 20, with 5 of those years from age 50 or older.

However:

If you haven't lived in NZ the whole time, you may be able to use another [single] co

This keeps coming up in the legal advice subreddit. It seems people don’t understand the risks of shared tenancy agreements.

If you sign a tenancy agreement with other co-tenants, you now have joint and several liability to the contract.

This means: You all jointly promise to meet the conditions of the contract, but you ALSO separately promise to those conditions (as if you signed on to the tenancy by yourself).

Paying rent: If any one of your co-tenants stop paying rent, any or all of the remaining tenants are liable to cover it. The landlord (with a tribunal order) can pursue you all, or anyone they choose for missed rent - usually the one they can identify as the most able to p

She was in a bundle with other dolls that are all from 2001, so I'm expecting a similar time frame. Her body is stamped 1999 Indonesia, and her head is 1998.

I don't know if her hair was restyled into the half up ponytail, it has a black hair tie which suggests it's not original.

Any help appreciated!

Question for anyone that owns both an early 90s Jazzie and a late 90s Skipper (the tall one, that is nearly Barbie's twin); do they fit the same fashions?

I have an Extreme Green Skipper who can essentially fit Barbie fashion and shoes, and I've just ordered a Jazzie from eBay (that will take ages to arrive via freight forwarder) that's wearing less spectacular clothes so I'd love to know if they're going to be interchangeable.

If you have them both and can share a side by side photo, that would be so helpful!

Was this the demo product for what eventually released in 2000 as Walking Barbie and sister Krissy?

My daughters have this Getaway House which has cardboard panels that have been absolutely destroyed (youngest is only 2, and plays ROUGH). They're not in good enough condition to photocopy or scan unfortunately. If I could buy the panels to replace them that would be great, but if someone sells a printable version I can laminate at home, that could work too.

Y'all are so creative and crafty I am hopeful there's someone that could point me in the right direction.
