Because UoA has no guidelines on payment rates for guest lectures, I was looking for reasonable information online and found this UNSW page showing casual academic pay rates.
I'm sure this is news to nobody but casual staff are MASSIVELY underpaid in NZ.

And thanks for your comment ๐
Apologies, just want to make sure I understand the question. Are you asking if there's a register of people who would like to donate?

The era of regular rail shutdowns in Auckland is almost over, phew! But train ridership has fallen in recent years, suggesting a loss of public confidence.
Now, with the CRL opening on the horizon, is Auckand Transport ready to run a proper metro timetable? Matt Lowrie tracks some worrying signs...
So we're in February now, and I'm sharing this again because getting my other half a kidney from a live donor is still my number one priority from 26. If you're in NZ and want to know more โ or just talk about it, please reach out to me. It would mean a lot.
And please share the original post ๐ฅฐ

good riddance to Minister Judith Collins, who orchestrated the present gutting of New Zealand's science funding establishment
I've not seen or heard any coverage today that mentions this tiny detail, affecting 100s of millions of public dollars and endangering NZ's entire intellectual community
Another trope I've heard a couple of times recently is that "the Greens used to be the party of environmentalism ...and they should go back to being just that"
...despite the fact we've more than doubled our number of MPs in that time ๐ค
ALSO it cannot be stated enough that whenever the Greens have spoken/do speak about the environment, we're called tree-hugging loonies who can't be taken seriously! It's almost like the rich and powerful just want to shut down any critique of the status quo ...

They're not wrong.
We can't keep spending millions every year fixing the same roads over and over. Something has to give.
on the other hand, just like earthquakes, climate disasters are going for growth
