Are you a fan of helium balloons?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The cost to fill them has risen - which you might have noticed if you've had one recently.

It's not so bad if you want one standard latex balloon, manager Kim Owen said.

The cost to fill them has risen - which you might have noticed if you've had one recently.
A worldwide helium shortage is behind the price hike, which is being noticed by David's Emporium in Hamilton.
It's not so bad if you want one standard latex balloon, manager Kim Owen said.
But it adds up when people book 30 or 40 balloons to be filled at once, so they're developing some alternatives.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?
