Also on site - TINTYPE CENTRAL's pop-up photography studio! Meet photographer Adrian Cook who produces captivating images using 100% authentic 19th-century wet plate techniques. Learn more or book in for a unique portrait session at tintypecentral.com...

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?
