I get so confused by people here. Sometimes I wish could restrict replies by location.

The worst part is getting someone at WINZ to talk to you. I think 99% of my stress with WINZ is the communication part.
Then when you do, they have no idea what an NASC report is.
Despite the letter saying that's something they accept.

Great... My LOPE decision is "going to take a while" cause of "backlog" so I need to resubmit my WINZ stuff 😢 it's so stressful dealing with WINZ, I really wanted out of the WINZ system

I want to put my Christmas tree up this year but I am worried I won't have anything to put under it.

When I was younger, my biggest dream was a best friend. Then I got the Late Princess Nom Nom and now I have Lady Paddy Floofington, I am so blessed to be given my dream :)

Before me is change
A different way
But change is hard,
And I must be brave.
But I'm scared
I'm feeling afraid
What if I let others down?
What if I fail?
I know I must try
Things can't stay the same
I need to do this,
So I can be better...
I must be brave
I must face change
A different way
But change is hard,
And I must be brave.

So I can be better...
I must be brave

1200 people attended so that’s quite an audience listening to your words. Watched on IG the reading & I can see why they thought that poem fitted with their festival.

Government axed public housing programme on ‘flawed’ research, study claims
Otago researchers say the review of Kāinga Ora relied on “incorrect conclusions” and “methodological issues”. Housing Minister Chris Bishop says they’re wrong on the facts.
