Warning
Just a warning to anyone who may buy from PB Technologies – a very large firm with branches through NZ. Inspect your goods before you leave the shop.
I went there to buy a specific quality computer power supply. I could not find it on the shelves, so a staff member said he would try and find me one. He finally produced one and I purchased it - but it was some time before I opened the packaging to use it. The outer wrapping had the name and barcode of the one I wanted. My docket showed the type I wanted and its price, but when opened the power supply was not only a cheaper brand, but was old and used. Obviously somebody had swapped it for a good one. Only a staff member could have done that because of the security on the doors.
I took it back and asked for my money back, but they refused because it was over the 14 days for returns. They would not budge, saying that it was probable that I had used the original and put the old one back in the wrapping. NOT a good look for customer relations. I most certainly will never deal with them again.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
82.9% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
17.1% No. This would be impossible in practice.
