Mortgage Lending Laws To Be Relaxed Further

David from adviceHQ

Breaking news! Govt backtracks again on credit crunching CCCFA legislation:
• Narrowing the expenses considered by lenders to more explicitly exclude discretionary expenses;
• Reducing 'double counting' of expenses associated with revolving credit contracts such as credit cards and buy-now pay later schemes, and;
• Helping make debt refinancing or debt consolidation more accessible if appropriate for borrowers.
The proposed changes are in addition to the 7 July CCCFA backtrack.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
