Aie New Zealand fare grab

Jon from The Wood

I booked feares to Australia some months before Covid 19 had been invented. We are due to travel early next month. We are now considering if it is wise to do so in the light of covid 19. I contacted Air New Zealand to ask what would happen to the money we have paid in advance if we chose not to travel (self isolate) or were prevented from traveling due to government decree. The AirNZ telephonist Daniel was very clear that Air New Zealand would keep our money, some $2200 under all circumstances if we did not travel and we would have to pay again when it was considered safe to travel. No other options.
It is very hard to feel any simpathy at all for an airline crying povity due to covid 19 given there complead lack of consideration for travelers forced to change their plans.
Does anyone have any ideas or advice in a matter such as this?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
