* how long you will be away, and
* if you meet the criteria for being "ordinarily resident" in Aotearoa New Zealand.
If you plan to be overseas for 26 weeks or less, your payments should continue as normal while you are away as long as you are "ordinarily resident" in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This means that:
* you intend to live primarily in New Zealand, and
* you consider New Zealand to be your home.
You may also be considered "ordinarily resident" if you live in, the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau, and any country New Zealand has a Social Security Agreement (SSA) with (except United Kingdom).

The limit is 50 per person per day,
Fisheries are aware and have photos and videos of the individuals, What we do not have so far is a car number plate.
If you are there at low tide please watch out for them at the far end of the beach. Do not confront them but if you can get a number plate do call fisheries.
We need to protect our beaches and residents from all greedy people.
Thank you.
