Once a upon a time Queenstown was a quiet little holiday destination for Southland farmers and their families to enjoy. Now we have become the second largest “city” in the South Island over Christmas and New Year with up to 100,000 people on any given day. Bigger than Invercargill and Dunedin. That’s a heck of a lot of fresh water to pipe and wastewater to pump. Council staff and contractors will be kept busy this festive season making sure the water flows when we turn on the tap and disappears never to be seen again when we flush the toilet. This is a busy period not only for QLDC but all the essential service people we generally take for granted. When you’re tucking into your Christmas turkey, think of the volunteer firefighters who will be keeping festive cheer capped in anticipation of that all too familiar air raid siren. Did you know we have the highest percentage of false alarms in New Zealand? Over 60%. But every time the troops must gather and respond whatever the circumstances. I tip my hat to that level of community service. Then there are the enforcement officers keeping our free loading campers in check; the town custodian team sweeping up after the nightly celebrations; the rubbish guys and toilet cleaners; the police and security staff. It takes a coordinated and dedicated effort from a multitude of organisations to keep this town running over Christmas and New Year. We cannot escape the fact this is a particularly busy time of year. The roller-coaster ride of life in Queenstown sees us rocket from one major event to the next and none are bigger than the Christmas/New Year influx. It is also a time for us all to take a breath when we can and tune out of work and tune into family. Some of us must try really hard to relax, as contradictory as that sounds. But try we must because Christmas is about spending some quality time with family, and for those on the other side of the world from their families, it’s a time to try something completely different. The legendary Queenstown Orphans’ Christmas tradition is when likeminded people gather together in houses all over the district and share a taste of their far way homelands in a distinctly Kiwi setting. This tradition fights off the feelings of isolation and loneliness one can feel at Christmas time and builds the sense of belonging our multi-national community relies on. When I first came to Queenstown, my Orphans’ Christmas experiences helped cement my now lifelong friendships. It’s amazing what magic can happen when an Irish, Swedish, Brazilian, English, Russian and Chinese group of friends get together with a couple of Kiwis and perhaps the odd Aussie on Christmas Day and are told to “bring a plate”. No one should be alone at Christmas time. From the team at the Lakes Weekly, QueenstownNZ App and LWBTV; Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and remember what a wise man once said, there is always room at the table for one more.

Queenstown Slave Labour
I recently moved to Queenstown and I absolutely love it here, however last week I learned that my new place of work (which shall remain unnamed) does not pay employees for training. That means I have to go into work on my own time to learn their system of serving, making cocktails, etc. Unpaid!
On top of paying an un-livable wage, so many employers in Queenstown’s hospitality industry get away with unpaid training, mandatory unpaid meetings, and other immoral and illegal hoops that poor employees have to jump through to keep their jobs.
I’ve also been told that our staff regularly have to attend mandatory meetings - also unpaid. I’m not 100% sure of New Zealand’s labour laws, but isn’t this illegal?! After talking to a few friends around town, I’ve realised that this is the norm in Queenstown.
This makes me really sad - not only because I’ve signed up for slave labour, but because Queenstown is such a beautiful place, filled with so much activity and (obvious) wealth - why are restaurant and bar workers treated so poorly here?

Hot Dogs On Saturday, as it was nearing 30 degrees, some clueless woman was dragging her poor pooch around on the searing sidewalk in town. I watched as she sipped her iced coffee and window shopped, oblivious to the fact that her dog’s paws were being scorched to bits!
Attention dog owners: if it’s too hot for you to walk barefoot, don’t make your pup do it. It’s summer – use some common sense and DO NOT walk your dogs on the concrete on these blistering hot days!

Employers Who Don’t Throw Christmas Do’s Do I work for the only employer in Queenstown that doesn’t throw their staff a Christmas do?? I’ve watched with envy as every single one of my friends attend their staff holiday parties, celebrating the holidays with their co-workers – complete with booze, food, activities and excursions all courtesy of their workplace.
It’s a way for employers to thank their employees for all the work they’ve done throughout the year and a chance to further bond with your colleagues. My boss must be a right true Grinch.
Disgruntled Employee
Sure, your staff Christmas do is a great way to drink some free booze and be merry with your work mates, but moreover it’s a display of appreciation from the boss.
Amazing how quickly the Mayor and QLDC can moviate themselves when it’s to help out their mates at the big end of town. The question I have, is why they cannot use the same sort of determination to resolve the feral freedom camping problem. It’s only the start of summer and all the usual haunts are being overused and misused by these pests.
Free Me Perhaps big Jim or one of his 350 staff would care to take a drive to the Lower Shotover old bridge carpark any morning & see if he can get a park or use the toilet. We cannot & have given up trying, because it’s full up of Freedom Campers, who somehow never get ticketed or clamped, their vans are obviously not self contained. The toilet there stinks & the cleaning schedule attached indicates its only cleaned every 10 days, it’s disgusting. What really stinks is that I & many other ratepayers can not enjoy a local car park/rest area, that we subsidise for a bunch of freeloaders. I would have suggested we have plenty of camping space in town that these ferals can use but it appears that council is hell bent on flogging this off to their mates.

Have a little more courtesy and stop blocking the walking traffic.
Put in a submission “anonymous flunky” from QLDC advises. That would a great idea, however whats the point when interested persons aren’t or won’t be given even the most basic information to allow them to make an informed submission. Perhaps an OIA request may assist, but again these slippery eels will no doubt be heavy with the redact ink in an attempt to subvert the public’s right to know with whats really going on. This saga is becoming a very smelly swamp that needs to drained to see whats at the bottom of it.
