"The Gilbert Islands Coastwatchers Memorial on the corner of Whitmore Street and Waterloo Quay, Wellington.
The memorial was unveiled in October 2014. It commemorates New Zealand radio operators based on the Gilbert Islands (now Kiribati) who were executed by the Japanese in the Second World War."

WINZ is using MailChimp to send email. Email. A public service agency is paying a private company in the US to send email for it. Seriously? WTF.
I've been saying for ages that NZ Post ought to be pivoting into hosting email. Handling large-scale mailouts like this is a classic example of a service they could actually be making money out of, doing the digital equivalent of their traditional business.

Yesterday the driver of a NZ Post van forgot to use the handbrake on a steep street and the van took out a concrete power pole.
Note that Arnold St is the next one along from the rather steep Baldwin St.

NZ Post courier - a parcel from Tauranga goes to Timaru, then to Okaihau - basically everywhere but where it SHOULD be going, which is Kerikeri. One week so far. BIG #fail #NZPost #NZ #what #notjoking

Hey #NZPost I would appreciate it if your delivery drivers treated my parcels with some care and respect by not tossing them onto the ground when I ask him to place my parcels down. 1/2
