Poll: Do you think the two-way Trans-Tasman bubble should be opened up now?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

The Government has announced its first major border exemption- 2000 horticultural workers can arrive in the new year.

The 2000 horticultural workers from the Pacific will be allowed to enter New Zealand in 2021 under strict conditions, in the first significant opening of the border to foreign workers since the Covid-19 pandemic struck.

Meanwhile, the one-way Trans-Tasman bubble started in October, permitting travellers from New Zealand to arrive in NSW and the Northern Territory without then having to go into managed isolation.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
