Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?
Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

'Unbundled legal services' - including Kiwilaw's probate service - is a fancy name for 'pick and choose what you need'.

Just like in a supermarket, or when buying travel - you don't have to buy a readymade meal if you prefer to buy ingredients, and you don't have to do everything through a travel agent if you prefer to do some of it yourself online.
You can use Kiwilaw's online probate service to save money on the grant of probate, and still use your favourite lawyer for advice and help with the rest of the estate administration. Our standard fee: $490 incl GST (+High Court $200 fee).
If the executor doesn't want to act, or there's no will, Kiwilaw's service can handle that too.
(This is our junior collie, pointing out that trying to take a photo of a pile of law books - for our nearly-ready 'Guide to Estate Administration' - was a waste of good play time.)

A new law in Wales says schools are required to have gender-neutral uniforms.
This means that while uniforms can include both skirts and pants, schools can't label these as "girls" or "boys" items.
Should NZ follow suit?
