Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Trade me “comfortable profiting from a human rights crisis” according to community organisations.

CCRG joined 11 other community group demanding Trade Me takes further steps to stop illegal properties being listed.
40,000 would-be tenants view their rental listings each day.

For this reason, Trade Me ought to support the visibility of the Healthy Homes Standards and encourage compliance with the
Residential Tenancies Act on their platform.

We are disappointed by the lack of leadership taken by Trade Me in regards to rental property listings and have signed an open letter in solidarity with 11 other organisations calling for change.

Renting is an integral & critical part of city centre living - everyone deserves liveable and compliant apartments.

We support the call for:
Trade Me to require that landlords and property managers state in their listings whether a property complies with the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards.
Trade Me to ban advertising by landlords and property managers who repeatedly breach standards or are reported to the ‘Community Watch’ team.
