Whelp, got a mortgage pre-approved. 150k in deposit, 450k in mortgage.

Now, where's a house that's under 600k in New Zealand?

Trade me shows 835 properties under 600k in the wellington region, though some of those are 19m2 rabbit hutches/bare patches of scrub

e: 166 with three bedrooms, to cut out both those things

Are communications to/from the speaker of the house subject to OIA? Or can they be rejected under parliamentary privilege?

I don't think they are, parliamentary service.

Regarding melatonin you can just buy a 700 litre tub of Amazon for 17 cents, and I've done it and so have friend of mine and I've never gotten in trouble.
That said, I've started using prescription ones because they are slow release and also who knows what's in Amazon melatonin pills.

Edit: I'm not even sure they work lol

I heard slow release is useless for helping sleep, fwiw

It's better when you play the actual rules without free parking and poo poo, because it at least doesn't drag on forever like Risk but in rural NZ or loving World of Warcraft or w/e


E: it's still not good, but at least it's less bad

The rule where every property that isn't bought is immediately auctioned off makes a big difference too. I don't know that anyone plays that but it's right there in the rules.

Excess deaths over the whole period are an average per country of ~350 per 100k. The US had around ~550 per 100k, so yeah 1.6 million people died in the US that wouldn't have under normal circumstances.

NZ had -12 per 100k, so assuming instead we would have hit that average around 16,000 additional people would have died if we had done nothing.

Lol I don't think dogs belong in hardware stores, people who are scared of dogs might need to go there. I know a few kids who are absolutely not happy being near dogs and I'm not thrilled either to be honest, I just wanna go buy a screw without worrying about being bit or barked at.
