Not enough people know about the Housing Improvement Regulations 1947.
cl 15: "Every home shall be free from dampness".
The clause can be enforced in the Tenancy Tribunal (s45(1)(c) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
Exemplary damages up to $7,200.

One of the sucky things about having experienced childhood poverty is that questions about money can make me very anxious.
This is a particular problem because I run a charity that distributes scholarships, so money questions are pretty regular. 1/2

I'm kind of keen to leave the aviary and take up embroidery - but how will I find there all the people I follow here?

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice.
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

I see landlords are crying "Wolf!" We'll sell up!" again, just like they did over Healthy Housing Standards, no fault evictions, and every other tenant-friendly policy in recent years. CoreLogic quarterly reports on investor activity show no sign of the promised wolf. 1/2

If I was driving to the moon I'd take something more fuel efficient than a Ford Ranger (11.5L/100km π±).
The opposition says the extra plane is an βextravaganceβ which created the emissions equal to driving a Ford Ranger to the moon three times. dlvr.it/SrDN9l

Itβs about raising several different groups who experience unjustified longer wait times from the bottom to the middle. People who oppose this approach should justify why theyβre OK with PΔkehΔ, urban & high income people waiting less time for surgery than the rest of us. (8/8)
I have never been bitten by an ant in NZ, but now in a FB thread some people say they have - not by Argentine ants, but the little black ones.
Is this really a thing? Since when? What makes them bite/why have I never been bitten?

RSV vaccination is something that could really have an impact on our high rates of (and awful inequities in) bronchiolitis and child bronchiectasis. Fingers and toes all crossed!

1/7 If you are interested in housing discourse and you want to read some truly terrible takes, may I recommend this 1991 Business Roundtable white paper - many aspects of which became government policy in the few years following: nzinitiative.org.nz/reports-β¦

6/7 I'm not 100% there wasn't an earlier paper with more on that theme, but this paper does want housing vouchers, to ensure "that subsidised state rental housing does not crowd out private sector provision."
