rooking

"The Government is trying to give us a rooking, and we don't like that one bit," he said yesterday.

You name me just one person that's got the rooking I've got.

The newspaper boys stand right in with the cops - at least, they do when it's an outsider who is getting the rooking."

All the royal rooking I'd got from tramps, I couldn't take any more.

If you are charged more, you are getting a slight rooking.

Charles Rooking Carter was the first elected representative.

It was later renamed after Charles Rooking Carter who was in charge of the building of the Black Bridge over the Waiohine River.

The name commemorates Charles Rooking Carter, who gifted his estate to what later became the Royal Society of New Zealand for the purposes of establishing an astronomical observatory in or near Wellington.

Charles Rooking Carter (1822-1896), a member of Featherston's recruitment staff who interviewed nearly all the "Brogden navvies", had been a Chartist sympathiser and an active propagandist for improved working class conditions before emigrating to New Zealand in 1850 and the campaign worked closely with the unions.
