Poll: Is New World misleading customers with its price labels?

New World has found itself in hot water following claims it is misleading customers with its price labels.

Consumer NZ spokesperson Jessica Wilson said the chain was prominently displaying its “Clubcard price” as the main price, while the regular price was in much smaller font and easier to miss.

Until recently, checkout operators could scan a temporary Clubcard for customers without one, which would allow all shoppers to access the loyalty scheme’s discounts. But that has since been stopped.

A Foodstuffs spokeswoman said it had removed temporary Clubcards from checkout counters after “lots of communication” with customers about the loyalty programme.

The spokeswoman disagreed with Consumer NZ’s claims and said it failed to point out that other retailers offered loyalty programmes.

Senior students in Auckland will be able to get bonus NCEA credits and enrol in summer school after the second Covid-19 lockdown disrupted their learning.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a raft of temporary changes to NCEA for Auckland students, who have missed an extra two a half weeks of school compared to pupils in the rest of the country.

The changes build on the system of bonus credits previously announced for all students.

Auckland teenagers will now earn one bonus credit for every four credits they achieve, up to a maximum of 16 bonus credits at level 1, and 12 at levels 2 and 3.

In the rest of the country, students will get one credit for every five they earn, up to a maximum of 10 and eight.

Four thousand students will now be able to enrol in summer school through Te Kura Correspondence School. There is normally a cap of 1000 students.

Poll: Do you agree Matariki or Māori New Year should be a public holiday?

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has announced Labour will make Matariki New Zealand’s twelth public holiday from 2022 if re-elected.

The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.

The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for the Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.

The exact timing of Matariki shifts every year as it relates to a star cluster reappearing and has traditionally varied between Iwi.

It would be the first new public holiday since the Third Labour Government made Waitangi Day a public holiday in 1973, although then Prime Minister Norman Kirk called it “New Zealand Day”.

“Matariki will be a distinctly New Zealand holiday and a time for reflection, celebration and to look to the future as we take increasing pride in our unique national identity,” Ardern said.

She said the struggling tourism sector could use the help of another holiday and noted the “long run” with no public holidays that currently happens between Queen’s Birthday in early June and Labour Day in late October.

“We don’t have many statutory holidays compared to other OECD countries and it would be good to break up the long run through winter,” Ardern said.
