Food Safety
While we are on the subject of whether supermarkets should label goods which have been pre frozen, I thought I would pass on my experience.
Years ago, I worked in a provincial city New World deli.
The owners were beyond careful about making every possible profit.
If the sliced cold meat selection didn't sell after about three days, staff were told to unwrap the cling film and put the fresher looking bottom slice on the top so customers would think it was freshly packed, and re label it with the current date. Some of this sliced meat was being sold when it was 10 days old.
Staff were constantly reminded about not using too much toilet paper, and were only allowed to wash their hands in cold water, no soap and one small hand towel for the whole team.
When this supermarket was sold, the owners bought another New World on the Coromandel coast.
I've always wondered how many unsuspecting customers got food poisoning from these dreadfully mean practices.
Wills and Luxon are screwing the country to please the oil and gas industry.
Today the smart investment is in battery peaker plants in combination with solar and wind, or with any other renewable generation capacity during low demand times.
Gas is expensive and will get more so over time.
Let's not forget that Nicola Willis' dad is a big time oil and gas investor, lobbyist, and industry insider.
Maybe this should be posted in ‚Crime & Safety‘?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
