Just another flu

Debra from Milson

When people say Covid 19 is just like a flu, today I read this interesting story in Stuff about the 1918 Flu Pandemic which hit New Zealand so bad that "By early November 1918, there were 15 deaths a day in Auckland, and on November 12, this peaked to 83 deaths on a single day. By the end of the year around 1100 Aucklanders had succumbed to the virus." Taking into account that the population of Auckland was (308,766) this was a lot of deaths for the time. www.stuff.co.nz... I am sure they would have loved to have a Vaccine for the Spanish flu as we do for Covid 19, get vaccinated.

Kiwisaver Changes

Stephen from Kelvin Grove

Has your accountant told you about recent changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates and how they may affect wages and payroll calculations?

These updates can have flow-on effects for both employers and employees, and understanding them early helps avoid surprises.

Many business owners rely on their accountant not just for compliance, but for timely communication and practical guidance when changes occur.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Wanted: Older Female Rabbit to Adopt

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

I'm looking for an older female rabbit to adopt as a companion for my desexed male Arlo.

He is sweet but a little bit bossy so an ideal companion would be gentle and happy to let him wear the pants, so to speak.

Once bonded they would live their best rabbit lives sharing a large insulated hutch in a 20m x 3m outside enclosure on a lovely peaceful farm in Ashhurst.

His female companion recently passed away and he is really missing having the company of another rabbit.
