Re: Kiwi born and bred - over it
Yes, the decision has been made. Carry on with the, 'wait and see' that we have been doing since arriving in Feb 2011.
Get me out of this cartoon ! Yup, I can fully appreciate that. This experience is supposed to be an adventure, right ? I do voluntary work so my cv doesn't have more holes in it than swiss cheese.
That was born out of desperation because I can't bear being unemployed for months on end
I can't claim unemployment benefit in NZ either. When I have been in paid employment here in NZ, I was taxed as an individual. When I go to claim unemployment benefit, household income as a whole is taken into account

I wanted to live in NZ Because....... I believed what they said at the seminars about emigrating and I also bought a pair of spectacles whilst I was there. They had a hint of rose colour in them.

Re: Kiwi born and bred - over it
sorry snap but Guildford is pretty bad. a pretentious hotspot that's been overrun with way too many cars. I'm sure it was a lovely place to be once upon a time. now though its full of overpriced barbers, land rover, range rover, jag, BMW and Audi fascists. I have to admit though that I do miss laughing at those sorts of people, but I guess there are more cropping up in Auckland now to laugh at.

Immigrants buy 5% of the houses in New Zealand. English make up just over half of that 5%. Even if all of the English stop buying properties over here it won't make any difference. 
it is the whole system that sucks the living daylight out of hardworking families who don't have the privilege of having a spare 1 to 2 million dollars in the bank.
