Covid-19 Update : Auckland joins rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi Neighbours,

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced Auckland will join the rest of New Zealand at Covid-19 alert level 1 from midday Friday.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Update from Auckand Reporters at Stuff:

Auckland is moving to alert level 1 at midday.

* The Blues can host Highlanders with Eden Park crowd, and fans can attend America's Cup.

* Cabinet made the decision on Thursday, but delayed the announcement.

* The delayed decision is a 'logistical nightmare', Auckland restaurant owner says
* There were no new community cases to report yesterday.

* On Wednesday, the Government unveiled a detailed timeline for when people will get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Due to the shift down, Sunday's Super Rugby Aotearoa game between the Blues and Highlanders can go ahead with a crowd.

Crowds can also attend racing at the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand's defence of the cup continues against Luna Rossa from Friday afternoon.

Chicken Gizzards!

Sunita from Royal Oak

Kia ora Neighbours

I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).

I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.

If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.

Thank you!
