The tenants have now taken the landlord to the Tenancy Tribunal claiming a breach of quiet enjoyment for a number of reasons, including the photographs. According to the decision, the landlord also did not provide the tenants with mailbox keys for the duration of their tenancy. It did not provide for ongoing property management, and once the tenants moved in, day-to-day management was the landlord’s responsibility. The tenancy agreement and bond documents named only the owners as the landlord, with no reference to an agent, and there was no separate property management agreement or regular management fee. The landlord was ordered to pay $2643.26 to the tenants for breach of quiet enjoyment and exemplary damages.

The biggest danger of illegally arresting Maduro and seizing their oil was Trump believing he could do it in Iran. In Iran, he is dealing with zealots who will die for their regime. Killing the Ayatollah would be akin to murdering the Pope. This is how someone straps a dirty bomb to themselves in a backpack and detonates it in downtown Jerusalem and New York.

Earlier in the day, the US President told the Washington Post the strikes were an effort to bring “freedom for the people” in Iran. The protests in the US capital joined demonstrations that erupted in New York, Chicago, Denver and other US cities, as well as abroad. “From DC to Iran, stop the war, stop the bombs,” others said in unison. Ziad and other demonstrators drew comparisons between the strikes on Iran and involvement by the US military in other conflicts in recent years.

New Zealand Winegrowers chief executive Philip Gregan says growers will face similar challenges this year as they did in 2025.
