Poll: Do you think it'll be a good Christmas for retailers?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

December has traditionally been a hot month for retail, with Stats New Zealand data showing two decades of card payment values consistently about 37% above the rest of the year.

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
