Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...
π Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
π Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.

π Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
π If the vehicle is keyless, βkeysβ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
