Just wanted to share
I would like to share my unpleasant experience with Sunglass hut at The Base, Te Awa, Hamilton New Zealand. Me and my 7 yr old son bought our Rayban sunglasses and was happy to have it for only a short time. As almost all shoppers attitudes, we inspect the goods that we bought only after we paid for it and left the store for the reason that we are confident enough to do that attitude as you put your trust to these legitimate businesses that all their products are in good condition at the time of purchase. But this Sunglass hut outlet at The Base, Te Awa prove it wrong when we complained that the Rayban sunglass we bought has several scratches on it. Instead, the salesperson sarcastically accused my son of dropping the sunglass and denied an exchange of the product. In fact, my son's first try to use it is when we are still buying it and didn't use it elsewhere as we haven't left the shopping mall. I feel that the salesperson had taken advantage on us as there is an immediate decision to accuse us when we complain on the faulty product. To make the story short, we end up going home unhappy and unsatified with this outlet has done to us and will never recommend or buy again.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up
Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.
The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
