Neighbourly Q&A: Consumer rights with CAB's Andrew Hubbard
What can you do if you buy something that breaks soon after you buy it? It's time for another helpful Q&A.
This week we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you. Ask away!
Andrew will be here live on Wednesday at 9.30am, but go ahead, and add your question below now ⇩
Volunteer at CAB!
If you would like to awhi (show support to) your community, Citizens Advice Bureau could be a great place for you to volunteer. CAB volunteers deliver our service of information, advice and support to individuals and whānau, helping them to find a way forward with the questions and issues for which they seek our help. As a CAB volunteer, you will have the chance to make a difference in people’s lives through your mahi aroha (voluntary work).
Working with us, you would get to be part of an organisation that not only empowers individuals and whānau, but that also empowers communities by advocating for fairer laws and policies based on what we learn from our clients.
So, if you love helping people and your wider community, volunteering with the CAB could be the place for you. As a CAB volunteer, you will receive great training, gain valuable learning and experience through helping clients, and get to work alongside our wonderful group of dedicated volunteers, making a positive impact together.
Hono mai! Come and be a part of the CAB where the community comes together in the spirit of awhi mai, awhi atu – the receiving and giving of support – and being empowered together.
Contact us at freephone 0800 367 222, drop in to see us at 7 Aylesbury Street, Pakuranga (no appointment needed), or contact us via our CAB website at cab.org.nz.

From Antarctica to the Outback
For Rodnie and Bryan, retirement at Ryman’s Edmund Hillary Village is all about seizing every opportunity to explore. From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.
