Always Fly Fishing jacket

Rosemary from Nawton

Jacket is brand new, never been used. Because it was stuffed in a drawer (I didn't know about it) for more than 5 years I can't sell it as brand new. I can't find any information on the brand online either. It definitely is quality gear.

It is multi-pocketed, several are pockets within pockets and are sealed with Velcro. There is a window on the top right hand side to display the licence. The lower part of the jacket can be removed as can the sleeves, making it simply a vest. The hood can also be removed.

Size XL. It is quite a heavy jacket (about 2 kg) so I think only a big bloke could use it once it has all the accessories on board. My husband was a big man so it would have been ideal for him. Sadly, his fishing hobby was curtailed due to ill health and I am now trying to sort all his 'stuff'.

Price: $150

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Waikato Hospital needs to be open about mistakes

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

EDITORIAL: For all the travails assailing public hospitals, transparency should not be one of them.
Hospitals used to own up to their mistakes in a very public fashion. Each year they published a list of “Sentinel Events” — the most serious incidents involving patient harm.
That window of openness has slammed shut.
