Wellington International Airport Puns

A friend of mine is travelling from Melbourne to Wellington tomorrow. His flight is expected to arrive by midnight. How much time it normally takes at the immigration and at what time I can expect him to come out? Thanks

Hello,

I am presently completing a Year 13 Geography assignment at secondary school concerning the proposed extension to the runway of Wellington International Airport. Part of the assignment involves recording answers to a survey my group has put together, which contains questions about the opinion of the respondent with regards to the proposed runway extension. I would be most grateful if any of the members of this sub-forum on Reddit would be able to answer this survey, which I have posted below.

Thank you very much for your help.

1. How much do you know about the proposed Wellington Airport runway extension, on a scale of 1-5? 5 being ‘I am extremely knowledgeable' and 1 being ‘I have never heard of it.’
2. Do you support the building of an extension to the Wellington International Airport? Why/why not?
3. Do you support an extension of the airport runway into Lyall Bay? If yes, then how long should the extension be?
   1. 300m.
   2. Shorter than 300m.
   3. Longer than 300m.
4. Do you think it would be better for the airport to be moved than extended? If so, then what location, out of the options below, would you prefer?
   1. Newlands.
   2. Ohariu.
   3. The Wairarapa.
   4. Paraparaumu.
5. Are you concerned about the possible negative environmental impacts of a 300 metre extension to the airport runway? Yes or no?
6. Do you believe that the proposed airport runway extension will stimulate economic growth in the Wellington Region? Yes or no?
7. Will the proposed 300 metre airport runway extension significantly impact your daily life, for the better or for the worse? For example, are you concerned about the noise that could be produced by the extra aeroplanes arriving at and departing from the airport?
8. Do you think that a runway extension will change the character of the Lyall Bay beach? Why/Why Not?
9. How often do you fly in/out of the airport?
   1. Very frequently.
   2. Quite often.
   3. Sometimes.
   4. Infrequently.
   5. Never.

Today, the Prime Minister /u/Fresh3001 held a rally to announce his party’s immigration policies outside the Wellington International Airport.

“Each year, around 70,000 people emigrate from all over the world to New Zealand, setting foot on Kiwi soil at airports like this one. The Liberal Party of New Zealand considers itself to be a pro-immigration party, as we recognise not just our own heritage as immigrants but the economic and societal benefits that immigration provides. It’s the ultimate form of meritocracy, where those who are skilled and determined are able to find a better life than what their birth country can provide. Immigrants have arrived on our shores, since the first Māori settlement in 1280, to seek out that better future and are prepared to face the challenges that come along with it. The Liberal Party wishes to foster a spirit of the ‘New Zealand Dream’ which drove Polynesian navigators and colonial pioneers to settle on these shores, by making it easier for driven entrepreneurs to come to our country.

"Currently, the Entrepreneur Visa requires: a minimum capital investment of NZ$100,000 (excluding working capital); 120 points or more, with points awarded for factors about the likely success of the business and its value to New Zealand; a clear business plan; clean recent history of bankruptcy, business failure and fraud; and health, character and English language requirements. The Liberal Party would remove the capital investment requirement, so that it is easier for entrepreneurial and skilled migrants to contribute to our society. This would allow for down and out entrepreneurs or the business-minded from poorer countries to take advantage of this visa, not just the wealthy. The Liberal Party would also listen to the advice of Immigration NZ and expand our refugee intake to 1500 per year, while maintaining important safeguards. As a first world nation with a high quality of life, we should look to help those overseas who are struggling with conflict and extreme poverty.”

Hey looking for some advice about the basics.

My partner and I are moving to NZ in February for at least 1 year possibly up to 3. We are both working in healthcare, combined salary 150-160k ish plus 20% for overtime, nights. So I've a couple or random questions is that's ok and I'd appreciate any insight you guys may have.

1. This seems like a reasonable income, in reality is that the case or should we be pushing for more?
2. What way does taxation work? Is it banded per individual or per household income?
3. Why is there so few furnished places to rent? Does anyone have any good recommendations as to where to get basic furniture
4. She will working in Wellington, I've a gig in lower Hutt, is buying a car the best option or is the public transport reliable.
5. who is the best to bank with?
6. Any recommendations for good social clubs, any connections with GAA clubs or any junior rugby clubs looking for a 30yr old, past his best, with slow feet and a bad knee, give me a shout.

Obviously there is a million other questions, namely why the feck are we doing this in the middle of a global pandemic but the opportunity came up and my approach is, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Thank in advance.

I asked him, "Do you know any of those martial arts things, like Kung-Fu, Karate, or Ju-Jitsu?"

He says "No, why the f**k would you ask me that? Is it because I am Chinese?"

"No", I said, "It's because you're drinking my beer, you little prick."

Hi folks, can anyone let me know on rush hour how long is Karori to the Airport. Thank you!
