1News reporting the the average rent has fallen to around $650 a week. Given a full time minimum wage job brings in just over $760 a week after tax and kiwisaver contributions it should probably fall further still

If you can go straight past climate change, and long standing calls by tangata whenua to respect our planet, to instead blame Māori for landslides then that’s racist bait right there. It’s bad faith and lies and our media should shun it, not give it bandwidth. It’s hateful nonsense.
