And yet MORE money being wasted ...

Fiona from Henderson

all for the sake of rebranding.

First we had Woolworths, then came the 'more fresher & modern' Countdown and now they are taking us back to where it all started!!
www.stuff.co.nz...

Insert double facepalm HERE!!!

Woolworths Group said it planned to invest more than $400 million over the next three years to rebrand its network of 194 stores - WTAH??

They jack up the prices so regularly and so severely, for what exactly?
Are we the mugs who are paying for all of this rebranding?
Are we the mugs who continually swallow the dressed up BS as to why they do this sort of stuff?

It absolutely beggars belief that after the so called investigation into the duopoly and grocery prices, that this crap is allowed to continue to happen.
The arrogance of it all, sheer arrogance.
It's like a great big thumb to the nose at each and everyone of us.

"Woolworths said it would offer “more value for customers”" - I call BS on this. Call it what you like, it's still daylight robbery for so many out here in the real world.

Let's be honest here, the Government won't do anything, why should they? They are reaping the rewards from the various taxes. This will be like having your very own golden goose.
All the while, we will still be crippled and held to ransom by all of this malarkey

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, sad but oh so true.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
